Question
The boy is 3 years old. Initially, he complained of a sore throat, noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and it seemed like he had a low-grade fever that never went away. Please ask: How to treat a child’s sore throat caused by tonsillitis.
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. In addition to systemic treatment, regional therapy can be chosen to enhance efficacy, including methods such as tonsil pocket irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsil. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be administered accordingly. If the child still has a slight fever, it should be treated with antipyretics. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently suffers from inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgery for treatment. During treatment, it is also important to arrange for a light diet for the child and to enhance nutritional supplementation to help recover as soon as possible.
