Patient's question:
My son is 8 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something. I noticed 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 I treat my child's tonsillitis pain?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, as well as local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be administered. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During the treatment period, it is essential to ensure the child stays warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
