Question
Dear Baby, she’s just 2 months old. Initially, she had a slight sore throat, and now she’s experiencing more severe coughing. Additionally, she has a persistent high fever that won’t go away. How should one treat a child’s swollen tonsils for the best effect?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, one can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance for localized treatment, such as tonsil washing, medication injections, and laser therapy. If the child has throat pain, painkillers can be administered in moderation. For fever, appropriate fever-reducing medication can be taken. However, if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to undergo surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
