Patient's question:
Female baby, only 4 months old, just started, said swallowing pain, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and now has high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis and sore throat in children.Doctor's answer:
Currently in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotics. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication, which are both effective. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, early surgical intervention is recommended. At the same time, it is important to arrange a balanced diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
