Question
The baby girl is only 2 months old. She just started to talk and felt a sore throat, noticed a slight cough, and has been experiencing persistent low fever. How should one effectively treat tonsillitis in children?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, one can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance and may consider regional treatments as needed, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and injection of medications. For children with obvious symptoms of throat pain, analgesics can be used; if the fever persists, parents can use fever-reducing medication or take their child to the doctor. These are common treatment methods. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery early on, and during treatment, ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, a light diet, and sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
