Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 7 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse. Now, she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can the treatment be effective if the child has swollen and red tonsils?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has a good effect. While taking medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. Pain relievers can be given to children based on their condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. Finally, it is hoped that parents can pay attention to this disease and take their children to seek medical treatment early. Additionally, proper prevention and health care measures should be taken in daily life.
