Patient's question:
Female baby, only 8 months old. At first, she said it hurt to swallow things, and it was discovered that it was accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated when it's uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are currently commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can also be administered. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be chosen based on the temperature. Below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication should be taken. These are all common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. While treating, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover sooner.
