Question
My son is 3 years old. He’s been feeling a sore throat lately, his voice has become a bit hoarse, and he has a slight fever along with a poor state of mind. I would like to ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated if it’s very painful?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. For regional treatments, laser therapy or drug irrigation are recommended. For children with pronounced sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. These are some commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery as soon as possible. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging reasonable dietary and sleep habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
