Patient's question:

Girl baby, currently 4 years old, just started, a little sore throat, noticed, the voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, also, has had a slight fever for a long time, please ask: How to treat tonsillitis if the child's tonsils are very painful.

Doctor's answer:

Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of drugs can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medications may be given as needed. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be administered orally. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
