Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. At the same time, he had a low fever. Please ask: How to treat red and swollen tonsils in young children.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate analgesics may be administered. If a fever is present, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature: physical cooling is recommended for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral antipyretics can be used for temperatures above 38.5°C. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
