Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 3 months old, just started, said his throat hurts, found that coughing is quite severe, and accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How can the inflammation of the tonsils in the child be treated effectively?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. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be selected to enhance efficacy, including methods such as crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. In cases of sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible.In addition to the above drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
