Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 6 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Also, it seems like he has had a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should I treat my child's severe tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has a good effect. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child's sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given according to the situation. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar conditions exist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
