Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old. At first, when speaking, she felt a sore throat. It was discovered that she also had a mild cough and a low fever. Please ask: How should the tonsillitis in the child, which causes crying, be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. If the child also has a low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. Immediate medical attention should be sought if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Lastly, it is important for parents to take this condition seriously, seek medical treatment early, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
