Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 7 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, it seemed like the low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in infants and young children be diagnosed and treated?Doctor's answer:
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or combining them with local treatment methods such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all effective. When necessary, such as when a child has severe sore throat, pain relievers can also be administered. Persistent fever should be treated with antipyretics, and physical cooling methods can be used if the temperature is below 38.5°C. 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 adequate rest.
