Question
Baby girl, 8 months old, complaining of throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and fever. How to treat a child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be used first. In severe cases, regional treatment such as irrigation or injection can be performed. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be considered. If accompanied by fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. If the effect is not satisfactory, surgical treatment is recommended. During this period, it is necessary to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
