Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, he said that even drinking water with his throat felt painful. It was also found that his voice was a bit hoarse when he spoke. Additionally, he had a low fever. Please ask: How should I treat my child's tonsillitis if he is crying?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. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication may be combined. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, pain relievers are recommended to alleviate the symptoms. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is advised. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
