Patient's question:
Boy, 9 years old, has started elementary school. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, accompanied by low fever. Question: How should tonsillitis pharyngalgia in children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which is quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections, which are all good options. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. Persistent fever in children should be treated with antipyretics in a timely manner. Physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further worsening the symptoms by catching a cold.
