Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 8 months old, just started, a little sore throat, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and a little fever, no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated when it's uncomfortable for children.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics should be administered. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
