Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old, just starting, saying it hurts to swallow things, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: If the child's tonsillitis is very painful, how should it be treated.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. Local irrigation or topical sprays can also be used. Medications can be injected into the tonsils to address symptoms, and these methods are all quite effective. Pain relievers can be given to children, especially when throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be administered promptly. Physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5°C. These 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 maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
