Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, she had a low fever. Please ask: How should the crying caused by tonsillitis in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture results, which have shown good efficacy. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication injections can be used in conjunction. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider administering pain relievers as needed. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature: physical cooling is suitable for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral antipyretics can be used for temperatures above 38.5°C. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
