Question
Dear parents, our daughter is 8 months old. She started experiencing throat pain when speaking and has difficulty swallowing. She currently has a persistent high fever. What are the treatment methods for infant tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotic medications can be used for treatment, along with regional therapies such as gargling or direct application of medication to enhance efficacy. If the child’s throat pain is severe, it is recommended to use painkillers according to the situation. For fever symptoms, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above methods are commonly used for treatment. However, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light and easy-to-digest foods, and to ensure adequate rest and avoid fatigue.
