Question
Dear Parent, our son is just over 1 month old. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, accompanied by mild coughing, and a bit of fever with lack of energy. How should we treat our child’s crying and restless tonsillitis for the best results?
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used, and the choice of sensitive drugs can be made based on bacterial culture, with good results. Concurrently with systemic treatment, regional therapy can be chosen to enhance efficacy, including methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. Painkillers can also be administered according to the child’s condition, especially when the throat pain is severe, which can help alleviate suffering. Children with fever symptoms can take antipyretic medications, and in serious cases, medical consultation should be sought promptly. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. During this period, it is important to ensure that the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
