Patient's question:
My male baby is 1 year old. At first, when he spoke, he felt a sore throat, and noticed it accompanied by mild coughing. Additionally, he had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated when it is painful.Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics, local flushing, or local sprays. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils, all of which have good efficacy. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child still has a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is also important to maintain dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
