Patient's question:
Girl baby, currently 9 years old. At first, she said her throat hurts, and noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. At the same time, she has a slight fever and lacks energy. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in infants and young children be diagnosed and treated when they cry and fuss?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents consult a doctor to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, laser therapy, etc. For sore throat, pain relievers can also be given to children. If the child has a persistent fever, parents should administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention by taking the child to the hospital. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be recommended. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, and a liquid diet should be primarily consumed.
