Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 6 months old. At first, she had a slightly sore throat. She noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and it seemed like her low fever never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis with redness and swelling in infants and young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
Generally speaking, if it is pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with antibiotics for the child can be quite effective. Local treatment methods can also be combined, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication, which are all good options. If the child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. If the child also has a fever, it is advisable to take antipyretics as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If your child frequently experiences this condition, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child stays warm and avoid catching a cold, which could worsen the symptoms.
