How should a child with tonsillitis be treated?

Patient's question:

Boy, he is already 2 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, it seems like he has had a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should the inflammation of the tonsils be treated if the child's tonsils are inflamed?

Doctor's answer:

The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. Additionally, local treatments can be administered, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child has a fever, they can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet during daily life, and primarily consume liquid foods during the treatment period.
