Patient's question:
Female baby, only 3 months old, just starting out. When talking, she feels a sore throat. It was discovered that she also has a mild cough and low fever. Please ask: How can a sore throat from tonsillitis in children be treated effectively?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, which has shown good efficacy. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can be administered. If a child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar conditions persist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate physical activity for the child to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
