Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old, just started, a little sore throat, found that cough seems to be more serious, and at the same time, it seems like low fever hasn't gone away, please ask: what should be done if the child has tonsillitis and redness and swelling.Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical practice, the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily relies on antibiotic medications. Sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, analgesic medications can be used. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly.In addition to the above drug treatments, if a child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet is recommended during the healing period.
