Patient's question:
Baby girl, only one month old, just starting, saying it hurts when she swallows things, noticed it, accompanied by mild coughing, and has had a slight fever all along. Question: How to treat tonsillitis when the child is uncomfortable.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which is quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections, which are all good options. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to avoid catching colds, which may trigger further tonsillar inflammation.
