Question
A seven-month-old male infant is experiencing sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and persistent low-grade fever, suspected to be tonsillitis. How should infant and toddler tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Treatment for infant and toddler tonsillitis can include appropriate anti-inflammatory medications based on symptoms, as well as regional rinsing or spray treatments. Intra-tonsillar injection of symptomatic medications can also be effective. If the infant has throat pain, painkillers can be considered; if there are fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention early. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider early surgical treatment. Parents should pay attention to this disease, bring their children to the doctor in a timely manner, and pay attention to daily prevention and health care work.
