Question
My child is a 7-year-old boy. Initially, he had a sore throat, and I noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. He also had a slight fever and seemed listless. How should we treat his tonsillitis?
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are mainly used, and the choice of sensitive drugs can be made based on bacterial culture. The effect is good. If the child’s condition is more severe, some regional treatments can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection drugs. If the child’s sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some painkillers to relieve symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, some antipyretics can also be taken. In case of high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. For children with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
