Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 9 months old. At first, she felt pain even when drinking water, and it was accompanied by mild coughing. Also, she had a slight fever and was lacking energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotics, or local rinsing or topical sprays can be applied. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for effective results. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If the child has persistent fever, antipyretic drugs should be administered promptly. Physical cooling methods can be used for temperatures below 38.5°C. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm to prevent colds and the recurrence of tonsil inflammation.
