Question
Dear parents, my son is just over 5 months old. He initially felt a sore throat, accompanied by mild coughing and low fever, and seemed to be in low spirits. How should one treat the discomfort of tonsillitis in children?
Answer
Based on the child’s symptoms, treatment may include symptomatic medications (symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication), regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, injectable medications, analgesics to relieve throat pain, physical cooling(temperature reduction) for low fever, and if the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, medical attention should be sought. Surgery is an optional method for treating recurrent attacks. Pay attention to a light diet, and during treatment, mainly consume liquid foods.
