Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, he has severe coughing, and at the same time, a slight fever and lack of energy. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and swollen, how should they be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication may also be used. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, parents are advised to consider administering pain relievers to alleviate discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic medications should be given, or they should seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate physical activity to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
