Question
Dear Mom, my baby girl is only 6 months old and has recently started to complain of throat pain, accompanied by a slight cough and persistent fever. How should we treat the pain caused by a child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
Currently, the most common treatment for tonsillitis is the use of antibiotics, and regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or regional injections can also be considered. If the child experiences severe throat pain, pain relief medication can be given, and attention should be paid to controlling the fever. If the condition persists or worsens, immediate medical attention should be sought. In cases of frequent recurrence, surgery may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid colds to prevent the exacerbation of symptoms.
