Question
My daughter is 3 years old. Initially, she said her throat hurt, and I noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse during conversation, and she also had a low-grade fever. What are the best treatment methods for children with tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
Currently, in the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are mainly used, and the choice of sensitive drugs can be based on bacterial culture, which yields good results. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or drug irrigation. If the child’s throat pain is severe, some painkillers can be administered as appropriate. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, some fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently recurs tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is suggested to encourage the child to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
