Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old, just started, felt a sore throat when talking, found that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and very painful, how should it be treated well.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, or use local medications such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Surgery is also a feasible option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further aggravation of symptoms due to cold exposure.
