Patient's question:
Boy, already 2 years old. At first, he felt a sore throat when speaking and found that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. At the same time, it seemed like a low fever that never went away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated?Doctor's answer:
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, or local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. If a child has persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medications may be administered. These are common treatment methods. However, if a child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm to prevent further worsening of symptoms due to cold exposure.
