Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 4 months old, just starting out. She says her throat hurts even when she drinks water. She noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks. At the same time, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can the treatment for a child's swollen and red tonsils be most effective?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 results, which have shown good efficacy. While taking medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child has severe throat pain, pain-relieving medication may be administered as needed. Some children may also experience fever, in which case oral antipyretic drugs can be given. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is essential.In addition to these pharmacological treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
