Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. At the same time, it seemed like she had a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should acute tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, local irrigation, or local spraying. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief, all of which have proven to be effective. If necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferable.
