Question
How should I treat my child’s severe tonsillitis?
Answer
In clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used, with medication selected based on bacterial culture for sensitivity, yielding good results. Additionally, regional treatments can be administered, including tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, and laser therapy. In cases of severe throat pain, appropriate painkillers can be administered. Moreover, consider the need for fever-reducing medication based on the overall situation. Severe cases should be treated as soon as possible, as tonsillitis has a tendency to recur. If similar conditions exist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. It’s also important to stay warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
