Question
Dear parents, my daughter is only 8 months old and just started complaining about pain when swallowing. I noticed that she seems to have difficulty swallowing and is also running a low fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis and sore throat effectively?
Answer
The first step in treating pediatric tonsillitis is for parents to give their child some anti-inflammatory medication. They can also consider regional treatments, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intra-tonsillar injections. If the child’s sore throat is severe, it is recommended to administer some painkillers based on the situation. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, oral antipyretics can be taken. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently develops tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and lifestyle for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
