Question

How should one treat infant and toddler tonsillitis and sore throat for the best effect?

Answer

In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Additionally, regional treatments can be considered, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intralesional injections, and laser therapy. If the child’s sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is advisable to use painkillers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child has a slight fever, appropriate antipyretic measures should be taken; if the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
