Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 4 months old. Initially, he felt a sore throat when talking, and it seemed a bit difficult to swallow. Additionally, he has a low-grade fever. How should I treat my child’s swollen tonsils?
Answer
You can appropriately administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications. While taking the medication, you can also perform some local treatments, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, to reinforce the efficacy of the treatment. If your child’s sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use some painkillers to alleviate the symptoms. Some children may also have a fever, in which case you can give your child oral fever-reducing medication. If the symptoms do not subside, please seek medical attention. In addition to these medication treatments, if your child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can choose surgery for treatment under the guidance of a doctor. While undergoing treatment, it is also important to ensure your child has a light diet and enhances nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
