Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 3 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows something, and I noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. Additionally, he has had a slight fever for a while. I would like to ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and fussiness be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be administered orally. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During the treatment period, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
