Question

Dear parents, our daughter is only 7 months old and has recently shown symptoms of sore throat, hoarseness, and fever. How should we treat the red swelling of a child’s tonsillitis?

Answer

To effectively treat a child’s tonsillitis, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications as recommended by a doctor, perform local rinsing or spraying, or inject the appropriate medication into the tonsils. If the child primarily exhibits symptoms of sore throat, parents can consider giving pain relievers to alleviate the pain. If the child has a fever, it should be timely treated to reduce the temperature. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, attention should be paid to arranging light meals and increasing nutritional supplementation to help the child recover quickly.
