Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, he has been running a low fever. Could you please advise on how to treat pediatric tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has a good effect. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, they can be given fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
