Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 months old. At first, she said it hurt when she swallowed things. It was found that her cough was also quite severe. Additionally, she had been slightly feverish. Please ask: How can you effectively treat tonsillitis with red and swollen tonsils in children?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be used promptly. For fever below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be applied. In cases of multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
