Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. He noticed that his cough was quite severe, and at the same time, he had been slightly feverish. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and very painful, how should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has a good effect. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. Pain relievers can also be given to children, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgery is advised as early as possible. While treating, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
