Patient's question:
Boy, already 4 years old, just started, a little sore throat, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and has had a slight fever all along.: How should pediatric tonsillitis pain be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting antibiotics based on bacterial culture results. If a child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication may also be used. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be applied. If a child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. In cases of multiple acute episodes or complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
