Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 7 months old, just started, a little sore throat, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and also, now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: if the child's tonsillitis is inflamed, how should it be treated well.Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, or opt for local rinsing or topical sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for targeted treatment, all of which have good efficacy. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can be given. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used, and medical attention should be sought promptly if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C.In addition to these drug treatment methods, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgery under a doctor's guidance for treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
