Patient's question:
My son is 3 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Now, he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should we treat his tonsillitis if he is crying?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. While taking medication, local treatments can also be administered, such as rinsing or applying topical medications, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic medication can be taken orally. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment may be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
