Patient's question:
My male baby is 2 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Also, it seems like he has had a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can I treat my child's tonsillitis if he starts crying and fussing?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or combining it with local treatment methods such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are both effective. If the child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. If the child still has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After recovery, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
