Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 7 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat be treated in children.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be administered, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. Pain relievers may also be given to children, especially when throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is essential.In addition to the above drug and treatment methods, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
