Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and he also has a low fever. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and very painful, what treatment works best.Doctor's answer:
Currently in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Susceptible drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which yields good results. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Symptomatic medications can be injected into the tonsils, and the efficacy is also quite good. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relief medication should be administered. Persistent fever in children should be promptly treated with antipyretics. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
