Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, she had a low fever. Please ask: How can the tonsillitis in the child be treated effectively if it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. 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 severe, appropriate pain relievers may be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds that could trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
