Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 3 months old, just starting to feel pain when swallowing things, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and slightly feverish with low energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat be treated in children?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. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be combined. Pain relievers can also be administered to the child, especially when throat pain is intense, to alleviate discomfort. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If medication is ineffective or the condition recurs frequently, surgical intervention is recommended. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
