Patient's question:
Boy, already 1 year old. At first, he felt sore when drinking water, and found that his cough was quite severe, and he had a slight fever all the time. Please ask: How can tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated effectively for pain?Doctor's answer:
Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar injections may also be used. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be administered. Persistent fever in children should be treated with antipyretics; physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar conditions persist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. At the same time, it is important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
