Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 4 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts, and I noticed that his voice is a bit hoarse when he speaks. At the same time, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can a very painful pediatric tonsillitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. For local treatment, laser therapy or medication rinsing is recommended. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, parents can consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be recommended. Parents should also ensure their children stay warm to prevent colds that could trigger a recurrence of tonsillitis.
