Question
Baby boy, 9 months old, starts feeling a sore throat, severe cough, and fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily involves the use of antibiotic medications, selecting sensitive drugs based on the results of bacterial culture. Regional rinsing or spraying can also be performed, and symptomatic injections may be administered. When there is a sore throat, painkillers can be given to the child. If there is also fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. If symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. Parents should pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their children as early as possible, and also pay attention to related preventive and health care work.
