Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 5 months old, just starting, a little sore in the throat. Found that coughing seems to be more serious too, and has been a bit feverish. Please ask: How to treat tonsillitis in infants and young children.Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, local rinsing, or local spraying. Medications can also be injected into the tonsils for symptomatic relief, all of which are effective. If the sore throat is particularly severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. These are all common treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery at an early stage. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
