Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and discovered that her voice was a bit hoarse when talking. Moreover, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?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. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing drugs can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. For children with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
