Question
My daughter is just one month old. Initially, she complained of a sore throat, and it was noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. She also has a low-grade fever. How should a child with red, swollen tonsils be treated?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. While taking the medication, some local treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, which can consolidate the therapeutic effect. If the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, it is suggested to use some painkillers to alleviate symptoms. Additionally, if there is a fever, some fever-reducing medication can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, it is suggested to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
