Question
How should one treat the pain of pediatric tonsillitis to achieve good results?
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic medications are primarily used, which can be selected based on the culture results of the pathogenic bacteria, with good efficacy. Additionally, regional treatments can be administered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, and laser therapy. Depending on the child’s condition, some painkillers may be prescribed, especially when there is severe throat pain, which can help alleviate the discomfort. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. These are common treatment methods. If a child experiences recurrent episodes of tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. Parents should pay attention to this disease and take their children for medical treatment early on, while also being mindful of relevant preventive and health care measures.
