Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 7 months old. At first, it was said that even drinking water made his throat hurt. It was found that his voice was a bit hoarse when speaking, and he had been a bit feverish all along. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in infants and young children be diagnosed and treated when it is uncomfortable?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs can be appropriately administered. Local treatments can also be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. For cases with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
