Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old, just starting out. She says even drinking water feels painful in her throat, and she seems to have difficulty swallowing. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis, which is very painful?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. While systemic treatment is administered, local treatments can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be primarily consumed during the treatment period.
