Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can I effectively treat a child's tonsillitis when they are crying?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good effects. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered based on the situation. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics in a timely manner. Physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
