Patient's question:
My little girl is 3 years old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows things, and it turns out her cough is also quite severe. Additionally, she has a low fever. Please ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis when she cries and complains?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 has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medications or seek immediate medical attention. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. It is important to maintain a light diet during daily life, and a liquid diet should be prioritized during the treatment period.
