Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 months old. At first, he said his throat hurt, and it was discovered that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated when it's uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or it can be combined with local treatment methods such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature: physical cooling is suitable for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral antipyretics can be given for temperatures above 38.5°C. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
