Question
My daughter is only 8 months old and has recently developed symptoms such as sore throat, hoarseness, fever, and poor spirits. How should I treat her tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
Generally, it is recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child. If the condition is severe, regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injection of medications can be considered. For children with obvious throat pain, painkillers can be used. During fever, appropriate fever reduction measures should be taken; if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the medication is not effective and symptoms recur, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. During this period, make sure the child gets enough rest and consumes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
