Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old, just starting, saying it hurts when swallowing things, noticed that coughing seems to be more severe as well, and a bit feverish with low energy. Please ask: How can tonsillitis in children be effectively treated when it's uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis. They can be selected as needed. While systemic treatment is also available, local treatment can be chosen to enhance efficacy, including crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
