Question
My child is a 3-year-old boy. Initially, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed his voice was a bit hoarse. Additionally, it seems like the low-grade fever hasn’t gone away. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated effectively?
Answer
There are several treatment methods. First, you can provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms and consider regional therapy methods such as tonsil pocket irrigation or direct tonsil injection of medication to enhance the efficacy. If the child has a sore throat, it is recommended to use some painkillers to relieve pain. If the child still has a fever, he can take a fever reducer in moderation. However, if the fever does not subside, please seek medical attention promptly. In addition to the above medication treatment methods, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment can also be considered. Finally, parents should pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment early, and pay attention to related preventive and health care work.
