Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 6 months old. At first, she said her throat hurts. It was found that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks, and she also has a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis in young children.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's throat pain is severe, pain-relieving medication can be given accordingly. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. For multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
