Patient's question:
Boy, 13 years old, in primary school. At first, he felt a slight pain in his throat, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in infants and young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication may also be used. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, parents are advised to consider administering pain relievers to alleviate discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is essential. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
