How to Treat Crying in Young Children with Tonsillitis

Patient's question:

Boy, just turned 4 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying and fussiness be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication can be used. If the child's main symptom is sore throat, it is recommended that parents consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. If the child still has a fever, it is advisable to take fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
