Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 8 months old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, also has a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How to treat pharyngitis and tonsillitis in young children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the symptoms are mainly sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
