Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 8 months old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. It was discovered that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and it seemed like a low fever had not subsided. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pain in the child be treated.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or direct topical application, to enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child experiences severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be administered. For high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, early surgical intervention is recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Rest is also crucial, and fatigue should be avoided.
