Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 8 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things, and then we noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, it seems like he has had a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can we treat tonsillitis effectively if it's uncomfortable for children?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate analgesics may be given. For fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment may be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
