How to diagnose and treat discomfort from infant tonsillitis

Patient's question:

Female baby, only 8 months old, just starting to complain of pain when swallowing, and found mild cough. Also, it seems like a low fever that hasn't gone away. Question: How to diagnose and treat tonsillitis in young children when they feel uncomfortable.

Doctor's answer:

When it comes to treatment, you can first administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child's symptoms. You can also combine it with some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are quite effective. If necessary, such as when the child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep schedule for the child to help the disease recover more quickly.
