Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks, and he has had a slight fever all the time. Please ask: How can we treat tonsillitis effectively if the child is crying?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 treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be used. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral antipyretic drugs can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought.In addition to the above drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
