Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 8 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. It was found that her cough is quite severe. Also, it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should we treat her tonsillitis with redness and swelling?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of 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 and intratonsillar medication may also be used. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the discomfort. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
