Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 months old, just started, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that his cough is quite severe and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with sore throat be treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are currently commonly used to treat tonsillitis, and can be selected as appropriate. Apart from systemic medication, local treatments can also be administered, such as tonsillar crypt lavage or intratonsillar drug injection. If a child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be given as appropriate. If the child also has a fever, antipyretics should be administered. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, emergency medical attention should be sought. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. Finally, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
