Question
The 9-month-old boy initially reported a sore throat, and upon inspection, noticed severe coughing and a bit of fever with a lack of energy. Please ask: How should sore throat in infants with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions to give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. For regional treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation can be considered. If the child has a particularly sore throat, painkillers can also be administered appropriately. If the child still has a fever, antipyretics can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis often recurs; if similar symptoms occur after inflammation is controlled, surgery can be considered. During this period, make sure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
