How to Treat Pain Caused by Pediatric Tonsillitis

Question

A five-month-old male infant is suffering from tonsillitis, manifested by throat pain, hoarseness, and persistent low fever. How should one treat the pain caused by this type of tonsillitis?

Answer

For pain caused by pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to use appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to effectively alleviate inflammation. Regional treatments can consider laser therapy or medication rinses. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers may be administered as needed. For fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be taken; if symptoms are severe, immediate medical attention should be sought. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, consume light meals, and pay attention to rest, avoiding overexertion.
