Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, when he spoke, he felt a sore throat. He noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis and sore throat in children be treated?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture results. Additionally, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, and laser therapy can be performed. If the child has severe throat pain, pain-relieving medication may be administered as needed. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. At the same time, it is important to arrange a balanced diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the condition recover as quickly as possible.
