Patient's question:
My son is 9 years old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when he drank water, and he noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How can we effectively treat his tonsillitis when he cries and complains?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 results, which have shown good efficacy. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If a child experiences severe sore throat, it is recommended to administer pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medications or seek immediate medical attention. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical intervention is recommended. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their children to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
