Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he said he had pain when swallowing, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How can you effectively treat severe tonsillitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to the child. If the child still has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention is necessary. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
