Patient's question:
Female baby, only 8 months old, just started, said her throat hurts, noticed it, accompanied by mild cough, and has had a slight fever all along. Question: What should be done if the child has tonsillitis with redness and swelling?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be administered as needed. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Lastly, parents are encouraged to take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
