Question
Dear Baby Girl, currently 7 years old, at first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and found that swallowing was a bit difficult. Additionally, she has a low fever. How should the sore throat in children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be carried out, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injection. Painkillers can also be administered according to the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate suffering. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently develops tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. During this period, ensure that the child gets plenty of rest and eats more vegetables and fruits.
