Question
My daughter is 6 years old and has recently started experiencing throat pain, her voice has become hoarse, and she has been running a low fever. I would like to know about the treatment methods for children’s tonsillitis.
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, while also opting for regional treatments to enhance efficacy, which may include tonsil pocket irrigation and direct tonsil injections with medication. If the throat pain is severe, some painkillers can be administered. For children with fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Parents should also ensure that their children are well-protected from colds and flus to prevent recurrent tonsillitis.
