Patient's question:
Boy, he is already one year old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated well.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Symptomatic medications can be injected into the tonsils, and the results are also quite effective. If a child has severe throat pain, appropriate analgesics can be administered. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. Physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral antipyretics are recommended for temperatures above 38.5°C. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
