Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 5 months old, just started, said it hurts when swallowing, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Please ask: How can the child be treated for tonsillitis when they feel uncomfortable for good results?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them according to the symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, some local treatments can also be used, including tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections. If the symptoms are mainly sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral fever-reducing drugs can be taken. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
