Patient's question:
My little girl, who is one year old, initially said her throat hurts. Upon further observation, she has been coughing quite severely, and now she has a high fever that won't break. Please advise: How should I treat her tonsillitis and sore throat?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the main methods and medications currently used in clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt lavage, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis currently. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to related prevention and health care measures in daily life.
