Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something, and I noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. At the same time, it seems like he has a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can the discomfort of tonsillitis in children be treated 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. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, early surgery is advised. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
