Patient's question:
Boy, just turned two months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then discovered that his cough was quite severe, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated when it's very painful?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 according to symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. 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 treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
