Patient's question:
My son is 2 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. I noticed that his cough is quite severe and he has had a slight fever. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis when he is uncomfortable for it to be effective?Doctor's answer:
Currently in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If a child experiences severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. Persistent fever that does not subside may require oral antipyretics. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical intervention is recommended. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
