Patient's question:
My little girl is 3 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. I noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and she also had a slight fever and lacked energy. Please ask: How should infant tonsillitis, which is very painful, be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can also be administered. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be given. If the child also has a fever, appropriate antipyretics can be taken. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
