Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 3 months old. At first, he had a slight sore throat, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated if it is difficult to respond?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for the clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on the symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be selected to enhance the therapeutic effect, including methods such as crypt irrigation and direct injection of drugs into the tonsils. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate analgesics should be administered. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If the symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. During the treatment period, it is crucial to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further symptoms from worsening due to cold exposure.
