Patient's question:
My little girl is 9 years old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat. She noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and she also had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should I treat her tonsillitis if she cries and complains for better results?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. While taking medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. Pain relievers can be given to children, especially when throat pain is severe, to alleviate discomfort. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrence, so if similar symptoms occur again after the inflammation is controlled, surgery may be considered. At the same time, it is important to arrange a balanced diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
