Question
Dear parents, my daughter is only 3 months old. She just started saying that she has pain when swallowing, and I noticed that swallowing seems a bit difficult. Additionally, she has a persistent fever that doesn’t go away. How should I treat my child’s sore throat and fever caused by tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the primary methods and medications used in clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose according to the symptoms. Additionally, regional treatments can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsil medication injection, and laser therapy. In cases of throat pain, painkillers can also be given to the child. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral antipyretics can be administered. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. During treatment, it is also important to arrange for a light diet for the child, enhance nutritional supplementation, and help promote an early recovery.
