Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 7 months old, just starting, says his throat hurts even when drinking water, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How to diagnose and treat tonsillitis and sore throat in infants?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as appropriate. They can also be combined with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all effective. If a child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medication can be given as needed. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing drugs can be administered. If symptoms do not improve, medical attention is necessary. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to provide a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help the child recover as soon as possible.
