Question
My child is a 3-year-old boy. Lately, he has felt a sore throat, his voice is hoarse, and he has been running a fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated for the best results?
Answer
The treatment for a child’s tonsillitis can be chosen based on the results of bacterial culture, selecting antibiotics that are sensitive to resistance. At the same time, regional treatment can be carried out, including gargling or directly using medications, which can help enhance the efficacy. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be appropriately administered; if there is a persistent fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. These are common treatment methods. If pediatric tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment early on and pay attention to a light diet, with liquid foods as the mainstay during this period.
