How to treat uncomfortable tonsillitis in young children

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 2 months old, just started, a little sore throat, noticed it, swallowing seems a bit difficult, and has been a little feverish all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated when it's uncomfortable for young children.

Doctor's answer:

Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. Sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, which has shown good efficacy. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. Pain relievers can be given to children based on their condition, especially when throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. If a child has persistent fever, antipyretics should be used promptly. Physical cooling methods can be applied if the temperature is not above 38.5°C. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and the recurrence of tonsillitis.
