Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 5 months old, just starting, saying her throat hurts, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in young children be diagnosed and treated if it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, as well as local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the temperature: physical cooling is recommended for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral antipyretics can be taken for temperatures above 38.5°C. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
