Question
Dear Baby, she’s just 3 months old. At first, she felt pain when drinking water and said her throat hurt. She has been coughing quite severely and has a low-grade fever. How should I effectively treat my child’s sore throat and crying due to tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating such diseases, children can be given symptomatic antibiotic medications. In addition to systemic treatment, regional treatment can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including methods such as tonsil lavage and direct injection of medication into the tonsils. In cases of sore throat, children can also be given painkillers. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should administer antipyretic medication or immediately take the child to the hospital. For those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to boost their immunity and prevent recurrence.
