Patient's question:
My child is a 5-year-old boy. At first, he said his throat hurts when he swallows, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. He also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately administered, and they can be combined with local treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are quite effective. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms cannot be relieved, medical attention must be sought. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
