Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old, just started, saying her throat hurts, found, accompanied by mild cough, and now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated if it's very painful in young children.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. Additionally, local medications in the form of sprays or laser therapy can be administered. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. While undergoing treatment, it is important to ensure that children receive a light diet and adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
