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 low fever. Please ask: How should the treatment be for children's tonsillitis crying and screaming?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, which has shown good efficacy. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication injections can be combined. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider administering pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while oral antipyretics can be administered if the temperature is above 38.5°C. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can 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.
