Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 5 months old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, he had been running a low fever. Please ask: How should infant tonsillitis be treated effectively?Doctor's answer:
For treatment, first, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given based on the child's symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be administered. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. The above are common treatment methods. However, if the child's tonsillitis occurs repeatedly, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. After the condition improves, it is advisable to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
