Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 7 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his cough is also quite severe, and it seems like his low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can the discomfort of tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can be based on bacterial culture to select sensitive antibiotics, or it can be combined with local treatment methods. For example, tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication are both effective. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. For children with fever symptoms, they can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. After recovery, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent further recurrence.
