Patient's question:
Female baby, only 6 months old, just starting to say that swallowing things hurts. It was found that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking. Additionally, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can the crying due to tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?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 effects. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers should be used to alleviate the symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, fever reduction measures should be taken accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is necessary. The above methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a viable option, particularly for children with recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
