Patient's question:
Boy, already 9 years old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed things. It was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and it was accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should the crying and fussing of infants and young children with tonsillitis be treated.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. Local treatments can also be administered, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. Physical cooling is recommended for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral antipyretics can be used for temperatures above 38.5°C. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar conditions persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and the recurrence of tonsillitis.
