Question
Baby girl, 2 years old, sore throat, hoarse voice, low fever. How should a child with tonsillitis and fever be treated for optimal effectiveness?
Answer
Currently, the main treatment for pediatric tonsillitis in clinical practice is antibiotics, with the selection of sensitive drugs based on bacterial culture, which yields good results. Additionally, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, internal medication injection, and laser therapy can be considered. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be used, and antipyretics can be taken for fever symptoms. If the condition is severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In cases of recurrent tonsillitis, surgery may be recommended. Maintain a light diet and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
