Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 2 years old. At first, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can I treat severe tonsillitis in children effectively?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc. Pain relievers can also be given based on the child's condition, especially when the throat pain is intense, to help alleviate the discomfort. If the child also has a fever, antipyretics can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further exposure to cold to prevent worsening of symptoms.
