Question
Dear Sir, my son is just over 9 months old. He started to feel pain when drinking water, and it seems like swallowing is a bit difficult. He has also been a bit feverish. How should a crying child with tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis involves selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture for systemic and regional therapy, including tonsil crypt irrigation and direct tonsil injections. Painkillers can be administered for throat pain, and antipyretics can be taken orally if the fever persists. These methods are commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is an option for children with recurrent episodes. Finally, parents should take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and pay attention to related preventive and health care measures.
