Question
How should one treat a child’s painful tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, they can first use symptomatic antibiotic medications and also combine some regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection drugs, which are good options. If the child primarily experiences throat pain, parents are advised to give some pain relief medication under appropriate circumstances. Some children may have a fever, in which case they can be given oral fever-reducing medication. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. In addition to medication treatment, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can also discuss surgical treatment options with the doctor. Meanwhile, during the treatment period, it is important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover sooner.
