Patient's question:
My little girl, who is 3 years old, initially said that she had pain when swallowing. It was discovered that her cough was quite severe, and she also had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with sore throat in infants and young children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected accordingly. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections may also be used. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should also administer fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these drug treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During treatment, it is important to provide the child with a light diet and ensure adequate nutritional support to help them recover as soon as possible.
