Patient's question:
Baby girl, only 3 months old. At first, she felt a sore throat when talking, and noticed that her cough seemed quite severe as well. Additionally, she had a low fever. Please ask: How should tonsillitis in infants and young children be treated effectively if it is very painful?Doctor's answer:
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications, and some local treatment methods can also be combined. For example, tonsillar crypt irrigation and tonsillar medication injections are all good options. If the symptoms are primarily sore throat, pain-relieving medications can be considered. If the child has been feverish for an extended period, parents can also give fever-reducing medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. For cases with multiple acute severe episodes or existing complications, tonsillectomy is recommended two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
