Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and found that her voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, she had a slight fever and felt lacking in energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat be diagnosed and treated in children?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical intervention is advised. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
