Question
Dear Baby, she’s only 2 months old. Initially, she felt pain when drinking water, and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when talking, and it seems like she’s had a low-grade fever all this time. How should the pain from pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
It is appropriate to administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs, and can also be supplemented with some regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medication, which are quite effective. If the child has severe throat pain, it is recommended to give some painkillers. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, some antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. If the medication is not effective and there are recurrent episodes, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to maintaining good hygiene in diet and ensuring enough rest time.
