Patient's question:
My little girl is 3 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed her voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis with red and swollen tonsils 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. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate analgesics can be administered. If the child still has a slight fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary.In addition to these drug-based treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate physical activity to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
