Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 1 month old. Initially, I noticed he felt a sore throat when talking, and he has been experiencing quite severe coughing. Additionally, it seems like he’s had a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. How should I treat my child’s sore throat and crying due to tonsillitis for effective results?
Answer
For treatment, first, you can give the child symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on their symptoms. Additionally, you can consider regional medication sprays or laser therapy. If the symptoms are mainly throat pain, you may consider giving some painkillers. If the child has a slight fever, then you should consider adjusting the antipyretic accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. During treatment, it is also important to arrange a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
