Patient's question:
The tonsils were found to be red and swollen upon careful observation, with white pus spots appearing again when severe. Accompanied by fever at night, the temperature ranged between 37.6 and 38.5. It is more prone to occur during the flu season in spring and winter, and the condition tends to recur, making it difficult to recover completely. It is more likely to occur in children of the same age compared to others.What should be paid attention to when a child has tonsillitis?
Doctor's answer:
If tonsillitis has an abscess, the main treatment is antibiotics to fight infection and symptomatic relief. Use sensitive antibiotics such as penicillin and cephalosporins. Drink more water to promote the discharge of inflammatory secretions. In terms of diet, focus on high protein and high-calorie foods to reduce the body's resistance. When a child's immunity is low and they frequently catch colds, secondary neuron tonsillitis can be considered, and supplements like thymus peptide or pivmecillinam can be given to reduce the body's resistance. Pediatric tonsillitis has a significant impact on children. Once parents notice their child's symptoms, they should take them to a regular hospital for diagnosis in a timely manner. At the same time, pay close attention to the child's care. It is recommended to have a light diet and avoid spicy foods that may affect the condition. We hope the child can receive symptomatic treatment and recover quickly!
