Question
Dear Baby, she is only 5 months old. Initially, she said her throat hurt when swallowing, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. She also has a slight fever and lacks energy. How should a child with sore throat and crying due to tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, it is advisable to choose some medications with anti-inflammatory effects under the guidance of a doctor. Regional treatment options, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections, can also be considered. In cases where the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should administer antipyretic medications or take the child to the hospital immediately. For children with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
