Patient's question:
Boy, 11 years old, in primary school. At first, he had a slight sore throat, noticed it, coughed more severely, and now he has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in infants and young children, which is very painful, be treated.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, local rinsing, or local spraying. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief, all of which are effective. If the child has severe throat pain, pain relievers can be given as needed. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs can be administered orally. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
