Patient's question:
Female baby, only 5 months old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, she had been running a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on the symptoms. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate analgesics may be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar conditions persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further worsening of symptoms by preventing colds.
