Question
How to handle pediatric tonsillitis pain?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis should be treated with appropriate antimicrobial medications. Acute tonsillitis requires treatment until symptoms completely disappear, followed by continued medication for 4 to 5 days; chronic tonsillitis may need continued medication for 2 to 3 weeks to consolidate the therapeutic effect. At the same time, it is recommended to frequently apply heat compresses to the scrotum area, and to wear a cloth scrotal support when standing or walking too much to improve the blood circulation in the tonsils and help reduce inflammation.
