Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 3 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. I noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks. At the same time, it seems like she's had a low fever that hasn't gone away. I'm asking: If the child has tonsillitis and pain, how should it be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be administered. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. During the treatment period, it is essential to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensuring sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
