Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old. At first, when speaking, he felt a sore throat. It was found that his cough was quite severe, and it seemed like a low fever that never subsided. Please ask: How should we diagnose and treat a child with tonsillitis who is crying and fussing?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication may also be used. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention must be sought. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
