Patient's question:
Boy, already 7 years old, at first, said that swallowing was painful, noticed that coughing was quite severe, and it seemed like the low fever never subsided. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, can be administered based on the child's symptoms. While undergoing systemic treatment, local treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy. Methods include crypt irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. Pain relievers can also be given to the child, especially when the throat pain is severe, to help alleviate discomfort. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If it does not improve, medical attention must be sought. If there are multiple acute severe episodes or complications have already developed, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to provide the child with adequate nutrition, with a diet focusing on light foods, and ensure they get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
