Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 6 years old, just started, saying her throat hurts. Found that her cough seems to be quite severe as well. Additionally, her high fever hasn't subsided yet. Please ask: How can a child's tonsillitis be treated effectively when it's very painful?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be administered, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For cases of sore throat, children can be given pain relievers. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medications can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early on. During treatment, it is advisable to maintain a light diet and focus on liquid foods.
