Question
Dear parents, my son is just over 6 months old. Initially, he felt pain when drinking water and his throat was sore. I noticed he was coughing quite severely and has been a bit feverish. How should I treat his tonsillitis to relieve the discomfort and achieve effective results?
Answer
Antibiotics are one of the commonly used medications for treating tonsillitis, and regional treatments such as gargling or topical applications can also be considered to enhance the effect. When the baby’s throat pain is severe, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate symptoms. If the fever persists or the condition worsens, it is advisable to go to the hospital for medical attention. For frequent recurrences, surgical treatment can be considered. After the condition improves, it is suggested to let the baby engage in moderate exercise to strengthen immunity and prevent recurrence.
