Question
My son is 8 years old. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and it seemed a bit difficult to swallow. He’s also been running a slight fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis if it’s very painful?
Answer
If your child has tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotic medications can be used first. Regional treatment methods include tonsil crypt irrigation and intralesional injections. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered, and antipyretics or immediate medical attention can be used if the fever persists. If the child frequently experiences inflammation, surgical treatment can also be considered. During the treatment period, it’s important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
