Patient's question:
Boy, 12 years old, has started primary school. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing. It was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How to treat children's tonsillitis pain.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. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate analgesics may be administered. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
