Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat. Then, it was found that her cough was quite severe. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should one treat severe tonsillitis in young children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can select sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If a child's sore throat is severe, painkillers may be given based on the situation. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. Parents should also ensure their children are well-protected from the cold to prevent colds that could trigger another episode of tonsillitis.
