Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 months old, just started, felt a sore throat when talking, noticed it, his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking. At the same time, he has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in children be diagnosed and treated.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which is quite effective. Local treatments can also be applied, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. Pain relievers can be given to children, especially when throat pain is severe, to alleviate discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be administered orally. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar conditions persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is recommended during treatment.
