Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 4 years old, initially said she had pain when swallowing. She was also found to have mild coughing. Additionally, she had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please advise: How should tonsillitis with sore throat be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. Pain relievers can also be given to children, especially when they experience severe throat pain, to alleviate discomfort. If the child has a persistent fever, antipyretic medication should be administered, or they should be taken to the hospital immediately. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider early surgery. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover more quickly.
