Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 5 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts. Then, we noticed she seems to have difficulty swallowing. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Could you please tell me how to treat tonsillitis in children effectively?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can select sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. Pain relievers can also be given according to the child's condition, especially when the sore throat is severe, to help alleviate the pain. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Pay attention to a light diet, and focus on a liquid diet during the treatment period.
