Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and it was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, he has a low fever. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis discomfort in children well.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. Pain relievers can also be administered to children, especially when throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on a liquid diet.
