Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 6 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are swollen and very painful, what treatment is most effective.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If accompanied by low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensuring sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
