Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 months old, just started, a little sore throat, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough. Also, now has high fever that won't go down. Question: How should pediatric tonsillitis pain be treated?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all good options. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the temperature: below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used; above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be administered. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid further aggravating the symptoms by catching a cold.
