Patient's question:
My son is 4 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated if it is difficult to recover?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, and you can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all effective. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be administered promptly. Physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees Celsius. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
