Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Additionally, it seems like he has had a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How to treat painful tonsillitis in young children.Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or it can be combined with local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed appropriately, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is required. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and sufficient rest should be maintained to avoid fatigue.
