Patient's question:
Boy baby, just turned 8 months old. At first, he said his throat hurts. It was found that his cough is quite severe, and at the same time, his high fever has not subsided yet. Please ask: How should tonsillitis be treated properly for infants and young children if it is very painful.Doctor's answer:
For treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be given based on the child's symptoms. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or tonsillar injections may also be used. For sore throat, pain relievers can be given to the child. If the child has a persistent fever, parents can also use fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm to prevent catching a cold and triggering further tonsillar inflammation.
