Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 2 months old, just starting, feels sore throat when talking, found that coughing is quite severe, also accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should the treatment be if the child has tonsillitis pain?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. Additionally, local treatments can be administered, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be used. If there is a fever, the method of fever reduction should be chosen based on the temperature: physical cooling is suitable for temperatures below 38.5°C, while oral antipyretics can be administered for temperatures above 38.5°C. In addition to these pharmaceutical treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent them from catching a cold and triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
