Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 8 months old. At first, she said her throat hurts. It was found that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks, and now she has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How should we treat the child's tonsillitis if they are crying?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. While taking medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or applying medication directly, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. If a child has severe sore throat, it is recommended to provide pain relievers based on the situation. If the child has persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. In addition to these drug treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their child warm to prevent colds and subsequent recurrent inflammation of the tonsils.
