Question
My daughter is 4 years old. She recently started saying that she has pain when swallowing, and I noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse, and now she has a persistent high fever. How should I treat her sore throat and crying due to tonsillitis?
Answer
In clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are mainly used, and the choice of sensitive drugs can be based on bacterial culture, with good effects. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatment can also be carried out, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. Painkillers can be administered if necessary, such as when the child has severe throat pain. If there is also a fever, some antipyretics can be taken. It is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible for high fever. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. At the same time, also pay attention to arranging reasonable diet and lifestyle habits for your child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
