Patient's question:
Female baby, only 2 months old, just started, saying her throat hurts, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and it seems like the low fever hasn't gone away. Question: How can tonsillitis redness and swelling in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which is quite effective. Local treatments can also be applied, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be administered. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent episodes. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
