Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 3 years old. At first, he said his throat hurts. Upon observation, his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. At the same time, it seems like he has a low-grade fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are swollen and very painful, how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. While systemic treatment is administered, local treatments can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate pain-relieving medication may be given. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40°C, immediate medical attention is necessary. In addition to these pharmacological methods, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
