Question
My son is 3 years old. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse. Moreover, he now has a persistent high fever. How should I treat my child’s crying due to tonsillitis?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. While taking the medication, it’s also advisable to perform some local treatments, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, to consolidate the therapeutic effect. In cases of throat pain, painkillers can be administered to the child. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be used. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgery after the disease is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it’s also important to ensure your child has a light diet and supplements to strengthen nutrition, helping them recover as soon as possible.
