Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 7 months old, just started, a little sore throat, found that swallowing seems a bit difficult, and it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away, please ask: How to diagnose and treat red and swollen tonsillitis in infants and young children.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, they can first take some symptomatic antibiotics. They can also combine some local treatment methods, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections, which are all good options. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate pain relievers can be given. Additionally, if there is a fever, some antipyretics can be taken. For high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already occurred, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
