Patient's question:
Boy, already 8 years old, at the beginning, there was a little pain in the throat, noticed, swallowing seems a bit difficult, and accompanied by low fever, please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be diagnosed and treated if it is very painful.Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. While systemic treatment is administered, local therapies can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretics can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Furthermore, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
