Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 6 months old, just starting to say she has a sore throat. It was found that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks, and it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away either. Please ask: How should the tonsillitis be treated if the child is 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. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child also has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
