Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Meanwhile, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: If the child has tonsillitis pain, what treatment is most effective.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If the child's sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to provide pain relief medication based on the situation. If the child still has a fever, appropriate antipyretic medication can be given. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, focusing on a light diet, and ensuring sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
