Patient's question:
My boy, who is 4 years old, started experiencing a sore throat when talking. He also noticed some difficulty swallowing. Additionally, he has a slight fever and lacks energy. Could you please advise on how to treat his tonsillitis effectively?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. For cases of sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. For recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
