Question
My son is 5 years old. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. He’s also had a slight fever. How can I effectively treat his tonsillitis pain?
Answer
When treating pediatric tonsillitis, consider giving the child symptomatic antibiotic medication, and also regional treatments such as tonsil washing or injection therapy. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers can be administered appropriately. If fever is present, antipyretic medication should be taken. It is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible if the fever is high. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgery may also be considered. Parents should ensure warmth and avoid catching a cold to prevent a second episode of tonsillitis.
