How to Treat Pain Caused by Pediatric tonsillitis

Question

A nine-month-old male baby is complaining of throat pain, accompanied by severe coughing and persistent fever. How should one treat pain caused by pediatric tonsillitis?

Answer

For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to use appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to effectively alleviate inflammation. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, a moderate dose of painkillers can be administered to relieve discomfort. For fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be taken. In case of severe symptoms, immediate medical attention should be sought. If the child frequently experiences such situations, after controlling the condition, surgical treatment can be considered to avoid recurrent episodes. At the same time, attention should be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to aid in early recovery from the disease.
