How to Treat Infants and Toddlers with Uncomfortable Tonsillitis

Patient's question:

Boy, already 9 years old, at first, said that swallowing was painful, noticed that, coughing was quite severe, and, it seemed like a low fever had not subsided, please ask: How should infant tonsillitis be treated when it is uncomfortable.

Doctor's answer:

The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication may also be used. For children with significant sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be administered. Additionally, if fever is present, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child experiences recurrent tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery at an early stage. During treatment, a light diet should be maintained, with a focus on liquid foods.
