Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old. At first, he said it hurt when he swallowed things. Noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis pain be treated well?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 efficacy. While systemic treatment is administered, local therapies can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be used. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During the treatment period, it is essential to ensure the child is well-warmed to prevent worsening symptoms due to cold exposure.
