Patient's question:
Female baby, only 2 months old, just started, saying her throat hurts, found that accompanied by mild cough, and a bit of fever, no energy, please ask: How is it best to treat tonsillitis pain in the child.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture results, which have shown good efficacy. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. If the child has severe throat pain, pain-relieving medications may be administered as needed. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. For children who experience multiple acute severe episodes or have existing complications, tonsillectomy is advised two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate physical activity to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
