Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 7 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat. Then, she started coughing violently, accompanied by a low fever. Please ask: If the child's tonsils are inflamed and very painful, how should the treatment be carried out?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. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use analgesics to alleviate the symptoms. Children with fever symptoms can take fever-reducing medications. In severe cases, prompt medical attention should be sought. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical intervention is advised as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
