Patient's question:
Baby girl, only one month old. At first, she said she had pain when swallowing, and it was found that her cough was also quite severe, and she had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should the inflammation of the tonsils in the child be treated if she cries and screams?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or combining it with local treatment methods such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms do not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention. 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. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
