Patient's question:
Boy, he is already 2 years old. At first, when he started talking, he felt a sore throat. He noticed that his cough also seemed to be more severe. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis in young children when they feel uncomfortable.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. While systemic treatment is administered, local therapies can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate analgesics can be given. Persistent fever requires timely use of antipyretics. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5°C. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
