Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 6 months old. At first, he said his throat felt painful even when drinking water. He noticed that his voice was a bit hoarse when talking. At the same time, he now has a high fever that won't go down. Please ask: How can the crying and fussing of infant tonsillitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotic medication. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has persistent fever that doesn't subside, they can take fever-reducing medication orally. These methods are commonly used for treating tonsillitis at present. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible option, suitable for children who experience recurrent episodes. While treating the condition, it's also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
