Question
How to treat very painful pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Generally, for children with tonsillitis, antibiotics can be administered, which is usually an effective treatment method. At the same time, while taking medication, some local treatments can be performed to enhance the efficacy, such as rinsing or directly applying medication. If the child’s throat is extremely painful, it is recommended to provide some pain relief medication according to the situation. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child has recurrent inflammation, parents can also consider surgical treatment, but this should be done under the guidance of a doctor. After the condition improves, it is suggested to engage the child in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
