Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 9 months old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. It was discovered that his cough seemed quite severe as well, and he had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated when it's uncomfortable?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, or local rinsing or topical sprays can be used. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic treatment, all of which have good efficacy. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
