Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 1 year old, just starting, a little sore throat, found, accompanied by mild cough, and, seems like low fever hasn't gone away, please ask: How to treat a child's swollen and red tonsils well.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture results, which have shown good efficacy. While systemic treatment is administered, local therapies can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider administering pain relievers as needed to alleviate the discomfort. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical intervention may be considered. During the treatment period, it is crucial to ensure the child stays warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
