Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 2 months old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and it seemed like her low fever never went away. Please ask: How should the treatment be for a child with tonsillitis crying and fussing?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which is quite effective. Local treatments can also be applied, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
