Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 6 months old. At first, she said her throat hurts. It was found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and she also has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis and sore throat in young children.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, which has shown good efficacy. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If a child experiences severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered based on the situation. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. It is advisable to maintain a light diet during daily life and focus on a liquid diet during treatment.
