Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 5 years old. At first, she had a slight sore throat, noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and she had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How should the child be treated if she has tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it's pediatric tonsillitis,antibiotics can be given to the child, which is quite effective. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct medication, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the symptoms are mainly sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be considered. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
