Question
Baby boy, just over 4 months old, has recently started complaining of a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and a persistent low fever. How should a child with red, swollen tonsils be treated for the best effect?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, some regional treatment methods can be combined, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections, which are also effective. If the child’s sore throat is severe, it is advisable to administer some painkillers according to the situation. If there is also a fever, some antipyretics can be taken. In cases of high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment can also be considered. At the same time, attention should also be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and lifestyle for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
