Question

What causes enlarged tonsils in a 9-month-old baby?

Answer

Tonsillitis is an acute upper respiratory tract infection, typically caused by bacterial infection, and is a non-specific acute inflammation of the palatine tonsils. It often involves varying degrees of acute inflammation of the pharyngeal mucosa and pharyngeal lymphoid ring. Antibiotic intravenous therapy can be considered. Pediatric tonsillitis can have a significant impact on patients, so it is recommended that patients visit a specialist promptly and receive treatment under a doctor’s guidance. In daily life, it is advisable to drink plenty of water and pay close attention to dietary issues, hoping the child can recover quickly!
