Question
My child is a 6-year-old boy. At first, he felt pain when drinking water, accompanied by a slight cough, and had a slight fever. Please ask: If tonsillitis is very painful, what treatment methods should be effective?
Answer
There are several treatment options available. Firstly, you can give your child symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on their symptoms. Additionally, regional irrigation or spraying, or even injecting symptomatic medication into the tonsils can be effective. These methods can achieve good results. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, you can give them a moderate amount of pain relief medication. Moreover, if there is a fever, you can take some antipyretic drugs; however, if there is a high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure your child has enough rest time.
