Question
My son is 8 months old, has a bit of pain in his throat, accompanied by slight coughing, and also has a bit of fever and lacks energy. How should we relieve and treat infant and toddler tonsillitis?
Answer
In treating infant and toddler tonsillitis, some symptomatic antibiotic medications can be given to the child. For regional treatment, laser therapy or pharmacological irrigation is recommended. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers should be administered according to the situation. If the child has a fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical treatment should be sought as soon as possible. In addition to the above methods, surgery is also a viable treatment option, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. Parents should pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to doing related preventive and health care work.
