Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 7 months old. At first, he said it hurt when swallowing, and it was noticed that his cough seemed quite severe as well. Additionally, he had been slightly feverish for quite some time. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in infants and young children be diagnosed and treated if it causes pain?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatments can also be selected to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During daily life, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be primarily consumed during the treatment period.
