Patient's question:
Female baby, currently 2 years old. At first, she said it hurts when swallowing, and noticed it accompanied by mild coughing, and also accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated when the child is uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection can also be performed. If the child has severe throat pain, appropriate analgesics may be administered. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
