Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can the child's tonsillitis be treated effectively when she cries and screams?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can select sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be used. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
