Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old, just started, saying it hurts to swallow things, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and accompanied by low fever, please ask: How to treat pediatric tonsillitis when it's uncomfortable.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. While systemic treatment is administered, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including crypt irrigation and direct injection of drugs into the tonsils. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be taken. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is advised two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
