Question
Dear Baby, 1 year old, recently experiencing throat pain, hoarseness, and persistent high fever. How should one treat infant and toddler tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
During treatment, symptomatic anti-inflammatory drugs can be administered based on the child’s symptoms. Regional irrigation or application of topical medications can also be considered, as well as intratonsillar injection of symptomatic drugs, which is effective. If sore throat is the primary symptom, it is recommended to use painkillers in appropriate amounts to relieve discomfort. If the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medications can be considered. If the condition frequently recurs, surgical treatment may be considered after treatment to avoid recurrent episodes. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
