Patient's question:
Girl baby, only 9 months old, just starting out. When she talks, she feels a sore throat, and she notices that her cough seems to be more severe as well. At the same time, she has a slight fever and doesn't seem to have much energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in infants and young children be diagnosed and treated when they are crying and restless?Doctor's answer:
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor, or use local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate analgesics can be given. If there is a fever, the method of cooling should be selected based on the temperature: below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling is recommended; above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage appropriate exercise for the child to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
