Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, when he spoke, he felt a sore throat. He noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in young children be treated for the best effect?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. Pain relievers may be given to children, especially when throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has a fever, antipyretic medication can be administered as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child experiences multiple acute severe episodes or has complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
