Patient's question:
Female baby, only 6 months old, just starting, a little sore throat, found, accompanied by mild cough, also accompanied by low fever, please ask: How should tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated if it is very painful.Doctor's answer:
If a child gets tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be given. In addition to systemic medication, local treatments can also be performed, such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child's throat pain is severe, appropriate analgesics can be administered. If the child also has a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to encourage the child to engage in appropriate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
