Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. It was found that it was accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How is the treatment for pediatric tonsillitis with redness and swelling?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication may also be used. For severe sore throat, appropriate pain relievers can be administered. If the child has a fever, antipyretics should be given as needed. If the temperature exceeds 40°C, immediate medical attention is required. For repeated acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After recovery, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
