Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 7 months old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water, noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and he had been slightly feverish all along. Please ask: How can tonsillitis pharyngalgia in infants and young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Currently in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. While systemic treatment is administered, local therapies can also be chosen to enhance the therapeutic effect. These methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the symptoms are primarily characterized by sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, antipyretic drugs can be administered orally. In cases where inflammation recurs frequently, surgical intervention may be considered. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
