Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water felt painful in her throat. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and it was accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated when it's uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. Pain relievers can also be given to children, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. Physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral antipyretics can be administered for temperatures above 38.5°C.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
