Patient's question:

Boy, already 3 years old. At first, he felt sore when saying "drink water" in his throat, noticed that coughing seemed to be more severe as well, accompanied by low fever. Please ask: How to treat infant tonsillitis when it's uncomfortable.

Doctor's answer:

Antibiotic drugs are commonly used for treating tonsillitis and can be selected as needed. Additionally, local treatments can be performed, including tonsillar crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, laser therapy, etc. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some analgesics to relieve the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, medical attention must be sought. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and sleep routine for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
