Patient's question:
Baby girl, only one month old, just starting, saying her throat hurts, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and also accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should I treat tonsil inflammation and redness in the child?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 results, which have shown good efficacy. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. Pain relievers can also be administered to children, especially when throat pain is severe, to alleviate discomfort. If a fever is present, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature. Physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral antipyretics are recommended for temperatures above 38.5°C. If the medication is ineffective or the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is advised. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
