Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 9 months old. At first, he felt a sore throat when talking, and then discovered that his cough was quite severe, and it seemed like his low fever never went away. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and crying, how should the treatment be carried out for the best results?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good effects. Local treatments can also be applied, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If a child has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be administered. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar symptoms persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
