Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned one month old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and also had a low fever. Please ask: How should severe pediatric tonsillitis be treated?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. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
