Question
My child is a 6-year-old boy. Initially, he felt a sore throat while speaking, and his voice was a bit hoarse. He also had a low-grade fever. How should a child’s tonsillitis be treated for pain relief?
Answer
In the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used, and the choice of sensitive medication can be based on bacterial culture, which is effective. Regional treatment methods can also be supplemented, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections, which are quite good. Painkillers can be given to the child for sore throat, and antipyretics should be applied promptly if the child continues to have a fever. If the fever does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the disease is controlled to prevent recurrence. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
