Question

A 5-month-old baby girl has recently been experiencing symptoms such as a sore throat, severe coughing, fever, and lack of energy. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis?

Answer

For children with tonsillitis, appropriate use of anti-inflammatory medications, local irrigation or spraying, and even intratonsillar injection of symptomatic drugs can be effective. If there is severe throat pain, painkillers may be considered. If the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If a child repeatedly shows symptoms of tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment early on. Parents should pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their child as soon as possible, and pay attention to related preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
