Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he felt a slight pain in his throat. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be administered. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and to ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
