Question

Dear Sir/Madam, my daughter is currently 4 years old. She has just started experiencing a slight sore throat, and it seems that swallowing is a bit difficult. Additionally, she has a persistent fever that doesn’t seem to be going away. Could you please advise on the most effective treatment for infants with swollen tonsillitis?

Answer

In clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used, and the choice of sensitive medication can be made based on bacterial culture, with good results. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or drug irrigation. If the child’s throat pain is severe, some painkillers may be administered. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take antipyretic medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible. During this period, ensure that the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
