Patient's question:
Boy, 10 years old, in primary school. At first, he said his throat hurt, and it was noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, he had a low fever. Question: How is it effective to treat tonsillitis pain 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. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If a child experiences severe sore throat, it is recommended to administer analgesics based on the situation. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on a liquid diet.
