Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 months old. At first, when speaking, she felt a sore throat, and noticed that her cough also seemed more severe. Additionally, she had a slight fever and wasn't feeling well. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in young children be diagnosed and treated when it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation is recommended. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If a child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be administered promptly. Physical cooling methods are suitable for temperatures not exceeding 38.5°C.In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering further inflammation of the tonsils.
