Question
My daughter is 6 months old and just started having a sore throat, feeling pain even when drinking water. I’ve noticed she has a slight cough as well, and she’s been a bit feverish. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, it is first recommended to use antibiotic medications tailored to the symptoms for systemic treatment, and regional treatment methods can be chosen to enhance efficacy, such as pus pocket irrigation and direct medication injection into the tonsils. If the child has throat pain, some painkillers can be considered. For fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be taken. If the symptoms are severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. For recurrent episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, attention should also be paid to providing the child with a reasonable diet and lifestyle habits to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
