Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old, just started, saying her throat hurts, found, accompanied by mild cough, also a bit fever and no energy, please ask: How should children with tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated if it's very painful.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. If the child has severe throat pain, analgesic medications may be administered as needed. If the child has persistent fever, parents can give fever-reducing medications or seek immediate medical attention at the hospital. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurrent episodes of tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child stays warm to prevent further exacerbation of symptoms due to cold exposure.
