Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned one month old. He just started experiencing a sore throat when talking and found that his cough seems to be getting worse. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can we effectively treat a child's swollen and red tonsils?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. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If a child experiences severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered based on the situation. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen according to the body temperature. Below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used, while above 38.5°C, oral antipyretics can be given. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
