Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water felt painful in her throat. She noticed that her cough seemed to be more severe as well, and she had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which is quite effective. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate pain-relieving medications may be given. Persistent fever requires timely use of antipyretics, while physical cooling methods can be applied for temperatures below 38.5°C. For multiple acute severe episodes or complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
