Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 months old. At first, he said his throat was sore, but it was discovered that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should we treat a child with tonsillitis and crying for effective results?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, local rinsing, or local spraying. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief, all of which are effective. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. While undergoing treatment, it is important to provide your child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
