Question

How to treat a child’s sore throat and crying due to tonsillitis?

Answer

Generally, for pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to give the child some antibiotics as treatment, which is quite effective. Complementary regional treatments, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications, are also good options. For children with pronounced throat pain, analgesics can be used to relieve pain. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. If there is a recurring inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, it is also important to ensure the child maintains a light diet and strengthens nutritional supplementation to aid in an early recovery.
