Patient's question:
Boy, he is already one year old. At first, he had a slight sore throat. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should the tonsillitis be treated if the child has very painful tonsillitis.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 treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be given on a case-by-case basis. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to the above drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate physical activity to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
