Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old, just started, felt a sore throat when speaking, found that coughing seems to be more serious as well, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away either. Please ask: How to treat severe tonsillitis in young children.Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used, and symptomatic drugs can be injected into the tonsils, all of which have good efficacy. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medication can be used. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, prompt medical attention is necessary. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid further symptoms from worsening due to cold exposure.
