Patient's question:
My male child, who is 3 years old, initially said he had a sore throat. It was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and he also had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated when it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be used. If a child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing medications can be administered orally. These are all common treatment methods. However, if a child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider early surgery. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
