Patient's question:
Female baby, only 6 months old. At first, she said her throat hurts, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, she has had a slight fever for a while. Please ask: How can the child's tonsillitis be treated if it is very painful?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. While taking medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, which can enhance the therapeutic effect. Pain relievers can be given to children, especially when throat pain is severe, to alleviate discomfort. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, antipyretic drugs can be administered orally. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent tonsillitis, surgical treatment is also recommended. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
