Question
Dear Baby, currently 9 years old, at first, she said she felt pain when swallowing, and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse during speech, and it seems like she has had a low fever that hasn’t gone away. How should one treat pain from tonsillitis in children?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered, and regional therapies such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections can also be considered. If the child has severe throat pain, it is recommended to give some painkillers according to the situation. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, some antipyretic medication can be taken orally. For those with frequent acute severe episodes or complications, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy surgery two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is advisable to have the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
