Patient's question:
Baby boy, just turned 4 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. He noticed that his cough seemed to be quite severe as well, and it seemed like his low fever hadn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with fever in infants and young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. Pain relievers can also be given to children, especially when throat pain is severe, to alleviate discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. If medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is advisable. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
