Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned one month old. At first, he said it hurt to swallow things, and it was noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Also, he had a slight fever and wasn't very energetic. Please ask: How should infant tonsillitis, which is very painful, be treated?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a doctor, choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their children to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Local treatments can also be used, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication. If a child's sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use pain relievers to ease the discomfort. For children with low-grade fever, physical cooling methods can be applied. However, if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly.In addition to these medication-based treatments, if a child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical intervention under the guidance of a doctor. During treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and primarily consume liquid foods.
