How to Treat Crying in Infants and Toddlers with Tonsillitis

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 2 months old, just started, said it hurts to swallow things, noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should infant tonsillitis with crying and fussiness be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Treating pediatric tonsillitis first, parents can give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, oral antipyretics can be administered. In addition to these medication-based treatments, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgery under the guidance of a doctor. During the treatment period, it's important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet primarily consisting of light foods. Rest should also be emphasized to avoid fatigue.
