Patient's question:
My little girl is 4 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, it seems like she has a low-grade fever that hasn't gone away. Could you please advise on how to treat tonsillitis in children effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis, and can be selected as appropriate. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing drugs or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurring tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider early surgical intervention. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
