Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking, and found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should pharyngitis with swollen tonsils be treated in young children?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 shown good efficacy. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate analgesics can be administered. Persistent fever in the child should be treated with antipyretics; physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature does not exceed 38.5°C. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
