Patient's question:
My son is 5 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and he also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should I treat my child's painful tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, local rinsing or topical sprays, or injecting symptomatic medications into the tonsils. All these methods are effective. Pain relievers can also be given to children, especially when throat pain is severe, to alleviate discomfort. If the child still has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
