Question
Dear Baby, she is just 2 months old. Initially, she felt pain when drinking water, and she has a severe cough. Additionally, she has a low-grade fever. How should one effectively treat severe sore throat in children with tonsillitis?
Answer
For a better treatment of tonsillitis, it is recommended to select some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. For regional treatment, laser therapy or medicated rinses are suggested. If the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered according to the situation. In case of fever, choose cooling methods based on body temperature; below 38.5 degrees Celsius can be treated with physical cooling, while above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
