Patient's question:
Female baby, only one month old. At first, she said her throat was sore. It was found that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and it seemed like her low fever never went away. Please ask: How can tonsillitis and sore throat be treated effectively in children?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. While taking medication, local treatments such as rinsing or direct application of medication can also be performed to enhance efficacy. If the child's primary symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate discomfort. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, early surgical intervention is recommended. Parents should also ensure their child stays warm to prevent catching a cold, which could trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
