How to treat difficult tonsillitis in children

Patient's question:

Baby girl, only 2 months old. At first, she said her throat was sore, and it was found that her cough seemed to be quite severe as well. Meanwhile, her high fever has not subsided yet. Please ask: How to treat pediatric tonsillitis when it's uncomfortable.

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. While taking medication, local treatments can also be applied, such as rinsing or direct medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred during the treatment period.
