Patient's question:
Female baby, only 4 months old, just starting out. When she talks, she feels a sore throat. She notices it, swallowing seems a bit difficult. Moreover, she now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should the treatment be for tonsillitis and sore throat in the child?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 results, which have shown good efficacy. Additionally, local medication sprays or laser therapy can be administered. When necessary, such as when a child experiences severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be provided. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used, and medical attention should be sought promptly if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if a child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgical intervention at an early stage. Lastly, it is hoped that parents can take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to relevant prevention and health care measures in daily life.
