Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 3 years old. At first, she said it hurts when swallowing things. It was found that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated if it is very painful in children.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication may be combined. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider administering pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medications or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital.In addition to these medication-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consult a doctor to consider surgical treatment under medical supervision. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light and easily digestible foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be maintained to avoid fatigue.
