Patient's question:
Boy, just turned 6 months old. At first, he said his throat hurt, and it was discovered that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and it was accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated for young children who feel uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. While undergoing systemic treatment, you can also opt for local treatments to enhance efficacy, such as crypt irrigation or direct injection of medication into the tonsils. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be given as needed. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
