Question

Dear Baby, she’s just 5 months old. Initially, she felt pain when drinking water, and it seems her cough is more severe. She also has a slight fever and seems listless. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis effectively?

Answer

If a child has tonsillitis, they can first be treated with targeted antibiotic medications. They can also be supplemented with regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered as needed. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should consider using fever-reducing drugs or immediately taking the child to the hospital. If the medication is not effective and there are recurrent episodes, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During this period, make sure the child gets enough rest and consumes plenty of vegetables and fruits.
