Patient's question:
Boy, already 3 years old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and he has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How can the child's tonsillitis be treated effectively if the tonsils are swollen and red?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. Additionally, topical medications in the form of sprays or laser therapy can be administered. When necessary, such as when a child experiences severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, while physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5°C. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. Lastly, it is important for parents to take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
