Patient's question:
Female baby, only 6 months old. At first, she felt pain in her throat even when drinking water. She noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and she had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and fussiness be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, local rinsing, or local spraying. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief, all of which are effective. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. These are all common treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
