Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should pharyngitis and tonsillitis in children be treated effectively.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. 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 drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider administering pain relievers as needed. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied for temperatures below 38.5°C. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the to prevent recurrence. After recovery, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost the immune system and prevent future episodes.
