Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 7 months old, just started, saying her throat hurts. Noticed that her cough seems quite severe as well. Also, it seems like her low-grade fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How is tonsillitis in infants and toddlers treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the main methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose them based on symptoms, and can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation, tonsillar injections, etc., which are all good options. When necessary, such as when a child's sore throat is particularly severe, pain relievers can also be given. If accompanied by low fever, physical cooling methods can be used; if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents can also choose surgery for treatment under a doctor's guidance. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
