Patient's question:
Female baby, only 3 months old. At first, she said that even drinking water made her throat hurt. She noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and it seemed like her low fever never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling be treated in children?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture results, which have shown good efficacy. While taking medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider administering pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child has persistent fever, parents should also provide fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If the medication is ineffective or the condition recurs frequently, surgical intervention may be recommended. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, bring their child to the hospital for early diagnosis and treatment, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
