Question
My child is a 2-year-old boy. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he seemed to have a low-grade fever that never went away. Please ask: How should children with tonsillitis be treated effectively, as it is very painful?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or pharmaceutical irrigation. For children with pronounced sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be used. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should also administer antipyretic medications, or immediately take the child to the hospital. If the child repeatedly experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to undergo surgery as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
