How to Treat Severe Tonsillitis in Young Children

Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 3 years old, just starting, feels sore throat when speaking, notices it, accompanied by mild cough, and, accompanied by low fever, please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated when it's uncomfortable for young children.

Doctor's answer:

If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take symptomatic antibiotic medication. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing drugs. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
