Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 months old, just started, said her throat hurts, noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks, and it seems like her low fever hasn't gone away either. Please ask: How should pharyngitis be treated in young children when they feel uncomfortable?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 the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications may be considered. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. For temperatures below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while for temperatures above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics should be taken. Tonsillitis is known for its recurrent nature. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
