Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 3 months old, just starting, feels sore throat when talking, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, also, seems like low-grade fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can pharyngitis and tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Currently in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which shows good efficacy. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be administered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretic drugs can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
