Patient's question:
Boy, just turned two months old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that his voice is a bit hoarse when speaking, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should I treat severe tonsillitis 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 medication rinsing is recommended. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. For patients with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
