Patient's question:
My male baby is 3 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking, and noticed that his cough seemed to be more severe as well. Additionally, it seems like his low-grade fever hasn't gone away. I would like to ask: How can tonsillitis pain in infants and young children be 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 according to symptoms, or use local medications such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretics can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
