How to treat uncomfortable tonsillitis in infants and young children

Patient's question:

Boy baby, just turned 9 months old. At first, he said his throat hurt even when drinking water. It was discovered that his cough was quite severe, and he also had a slight fever and no energy. Please ask: How should infant tonsillitis be treated when it's uncomfortable?

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. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication may also be used. If the child has a sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be given as needed. If the child still has a fever, antipyretic measures should be taken. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. If your child frequently experiences such conditions, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition is under control to prevent recurrence. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
