Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 5 months old. At first, she said it hurt to swallow things. Then, it was discovered that her cough was quite severe, and she had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How to treat a child's tonsillitis when they are crying and restless?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. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of drugs can also be performed to enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child experiences severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered based on the situation. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, and physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature does not exceed 38.5°C. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgical intervention as early as possible. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is preferred.
