Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old, just starting, a little sore throat, found that cough seems to be more severe, also, now has high fever that doesn't go down, please ask: How should pharyngitis with tonsillitis in young children be treated.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Susceptible drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good effects. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser treatment can be administered. If the child has a severe sore throat, pain relievers may be given as needed. Persistent fever requires timely use of antipyretics, and physical cooling methods can be applied for temperatures below 38.5°C. If there are recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical intervention should be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet consisting mainly of light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be maintained to avoid fatigue.
