Question
A 7-year-old boy is experiencing a sore throat, with his voice becoming hoarse, accompanied by a slight fever. How should sore throat in young children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Currently, the main treatment for pediatric tonsillitis in clinical practice is the use of antibiotic medications, which can be selected based on the results of bacterial culture to treat with sensitive drugs, with good effects. In addition to systemic treatment, regional treatment methods can be chosen to enhance efficacy, such as pus cavity irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the sore throat is severe, it is recommended to use painkillers in appropriate amounts. For children with persistent fever, timely application of antipyretic drugs can be considered. If the fever does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used. In addition to medication treatment, if the child frequently develops inflammation, parents may also consider surgical treatment. It is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease, take their children to see a doctor for treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to doing well with relevant prevention and health care work.
