Question
Dear baby, she’s only 5 months old and has recently been suffering from a sore throat and severe cough, accompanied by a persistent low-grade fever. How can we effectively treat a child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately used for treatment, and regional treatments such as tonsil lavage and tonsil injection can be chosen to enhance the efficacy. For severe throat pain, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate symptoms. If there is a fever, it should be brought down in a timely manner. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought immediately. In addition to medication, if tonsillitis recurs frequently, consider surgery. At the same time, pay attention to giving reasonable diet and rest habits to help the child recover quickly.
