Patient's question:
Baby girl, only one month old, just starting, saying it hurts to swallow things. Noticing it, swallowing seems a bit difficult, and she has had a slight fever all along. Please ask: How can I treat infant tonsillitis effectively when it's uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
To treat pediatric tonsillitis, parents can first give their child anti-inflammatory medication. For local treatment, laser therapy or medicinal rinsing is recommended. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken orally. If there are multiple acute, severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a focus on a light diet, and to ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
