Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 9 months old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things, and it was discovered that his cough was quite severe. At the same time, he had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: How should one treat severe tonsillitis in young children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. Additionally, topical medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. If a child experiences severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. If the child also has a fever, appropriate antipyretics can be given. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgery is advised as early as possible. Parents should also ensure their child stays warm to prevent catching a cold, which could trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
