Patient's question:
My little girl is 1 year old. At first, she said that even drinking water with her throat felt painful. She was also found to have a slightly hoarse voice when speaking, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How can we effectively treat crying and fussing in infants and toddlers with tonsillitis?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which is quite effective. Local treatments can also be applied, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to children. If the child still has a fever, antipyretics can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
