Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he had a slight sore throat, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, it seemed like the low-grade fever never went away. Could you please tell me: How can a child with tonsillitis that hurts a lot be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can select sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medication, or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgery is recommended as early as possible. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
