Patient's question:
My little girl, who is one year old, initially complained of a sore throat. We noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please advise on how to diagnose and treat pediatric tonsillitis when a child is crying?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. If a child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections may also be used. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. 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. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the doctor for early treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
