How to treat painful tonsillitis in young children effectively

Patient's question:

Baby girl, only 5 months old. At first, she said her throat was sore, and I noticed that her cough seemed quite severe as well. Additionally, it seemed like her low-grade fever never went away. Please ask: How can tonsillitis in young children be treated effectively?

Doctor's answer:

When treating such diseases, children can be given some symptomatic antibiotic medications, and local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat condition is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has been feverish for a long time, parents can also use fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help them recover as soon as possible.
