Question
Dear Sir, my son is just over 3 months old. Initially, he complained of pain when swallowing, and I noticed that his swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, it seems like he has had a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis with crying and distress?
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic medications are primarily used, and the choice of sensitive drugs can be made based on bacterial culture. The effect is good. In addition, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be administered. For children with obvious throat pain symptoms, analgesic medications can be used. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can also administer fever-reducing medications or immediately take the child to the hospital. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrent attacks. If similar conditions exist, consider surgery after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, also pay attention to arranging reasonable dietary and sleep habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
