Question
My son is 9 years old. Initially, he said his throat was sore, and I noticed that he had a more severe cough and had been a bit feverish. How should we treat his pediatric tonsillitis effectively to relieve the pain?
Answer
When treating such conditions, you can give your child symptomatic antibiotic medication. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be carried out, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injection with medication. You can also provide painkillers based on the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate suffering. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, you can administer some antipyretic medication orally. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the illness is controlled to prevent recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is recommended to have your child engage in moderate exercise to enhance their immune system, in order to prevent recurrence.
