Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old. At first, he had a little sore throat, noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he had been a bit feverish all along. Please ask: How can I treat tonsillitis effectively when the tonsils are red and swollen in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can select sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. While systemic treatment, local therapy can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt lavage, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be given to children. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent aggravation of symptoms from getting cold.
