Patient's question:
My little girl, she's 3 years old. At first, she said it hurts when she swallows something. I noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks, and it seems like she's had a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. Pain relievers can also be administered to children, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. Surgical intervention may be considered for cases with recurrent inflammation. It is important to maintain a light diet during daily life and focus on a liquid diet during the treatment period.
