Question
The baby girl is just 6 months old and has just started complaining of pain when swallowing. It was noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when she speaks. Additionally, she now has a persistent high fever. Please ask: What’s the best way to treat a child’s tonsillitis and achieve good results?
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are mainly used, and sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture. The effect is good. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or drug irrigation. If the child has severe throat pain, some painkillers are recommended to relieve symptoms. If the child still has a slight fever, then appropriate antipyretic measures should be taken; if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above methods are currently commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also a viable option, suitable for children with recurrent attacks. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child gets adequate nutrition, and the diet should be light. Also, it is necessary to ensure plenty of rest and avoid fatigue.
