Question

Dear Baby, currently 2 years old, at first, there was a bit of pain in the throat, I noticed it, and when talking, the voice was a bit hoarse. At the same time, there has been a slight fever. Please ask: How should one treat painful pediatric tonsillitis?

Answer

When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics, and regional treatments can also be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intralesional injections, laser therapy, etc. In cases of sore throat, painkillers can be administered to the child. If the child still has a fever, it may be appropriate to consider giving some antipyretics. However, if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrent attacks. If similar conditions exist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Pay attention to a light diet during treatment and mainly consume fluids.
