Question
How should I treat my child’s painful tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. For more severe cases, regional treatments may be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. Pain medication can also be administered depending on the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate suffering. If accompanied by a low fever, physical cooling (cooling) can be used. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. During treatment, it is also important to ensure that the child maintains a light diet and enhances nutritional supplementation to aid in a swift recovery.
