How to Treat Pain Caused by Pediatric tonsillitis

Question

A 2-year-old boy is experiencing throat pain, accompanied by severe coughing and persistent fever. How should pain caused by pediatric tonsillitis be treated?

Answer

Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis may include the use of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications. For more severe cases, a combination of local treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication may be considered. If the throat pain is severe, analgesics can be administered in appropriate doses. For persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be considered. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to undergo surgery early. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to keeping the child warm and avoiding catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
