Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 4 months old, just started, a little sore throat, found, accompanied by mild cough, also accompanied by low fever, please ask: If the child's tonsillitis is very painful, how should it be treated to be most effective.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good effects. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can administer antipyretic drugs or immediately take the child to the hospital. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is essential to ensure the child stays warm to prevent symptoms from worsening due to catching a cold.
