Patient's question:
Baby girl, only one month old, just starting out. She says her throat hurts even when drinking water, and she seems to have difficulty swallowing. Also, she has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How can tonsillitis in young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. Additionally, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, and laser therapy can be performed. If the child's sore throat is severe, pain relievers can be given based on the situation. If the child still has a fever, antipyretics should be administered as needed. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to the above drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
