Patient's question:
Female baby, only 3 months old. At first, she said it hurt to swallow things. It was found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and she also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in young children be treated well?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. While systemic treatment is ongoing, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including methods such as crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Additionally, sufficient rest should be maintained to avoid fatigue.
