Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts. I noticed that his cough seems to be more severe as well, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should I treat infant tonsillitis, which is very painful?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications may be considered. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If medication efficacy is suboptimal and the condition recurs frequently, surgical intervention is recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and re-inflammation of the tonsils.
