Patient's question:
Boy, already 2 years old. At first, he felt sore throat even when drinking water, noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe, and he was a bit feverish and lacking energy. Please ask: How should I treat the child's tonsillitis with redness and swelling?Doctor's answer:
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which is quite effective. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections can be combined. If the child has severe throat pain, pain-relieving medications can be given as needed. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs can be administered orally. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods, and to ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
