Question

Dear Baby, she’s only 5 months old. Initially, she had a slight sore throat, and I noticed her coughing seemed more severe. She also had a bit of a fever and seemed less energetic. How should we treat a child’s tonsillitis and sore throat?

Answer

To effectively treat a child’s tonsillitis and sore throat, it is recommended to select some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, or opt for regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections. For children with prominent sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be administered. Those with fever can take antipyretic drugs. In severe cases, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, consider surgical treatment. At the same time, pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and sleep habits for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
