Patient's question:
My child is a boy, 1 year old. At first, he said it hurts when he swallows things, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, he has had a slight fever. Please ask: How should I treat tonsillitis and fever in children for effective results?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. Additionally, local treatments can be administered, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be used. 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 drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to aid in early recovery.
