Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 4 years old this year, initially said that she felt pain when swallowing. I noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should I treat a child's tonsillitis when they are crying and upset?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 results, which have shown good efficacy. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. When necessary, such as when a child experiences severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Meanwhile, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for your child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
