Question
My 9-year-old son, initially had a slight sore throat, and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, it seems like he’s had a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose according to the symptoms. In addition, regional treatments can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intramuscular injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child has a particularly sore throat, some painkillers can be administered. For children with fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Besides these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may also consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment options. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
