Patient's question:
My little girl is 3 years old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows things, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis if she's crying and complaining?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture results, or it can be combined with local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are both effective. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are recurrent inflammation episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
