Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 4 months old and has started to complain of a sore throat while talking. He also has a slight cough and has been running a low fever. How should one diagnose and treat the discomfort caused by tonsillitis in children?
Answer
When treating such diseases, it is advisable to administer appropriate antibiotic medications to the child, along with local treatments such as rinsing or direct medication to reinforce the efficacy of the treatment. Painkillers can be given based on the child’s condition to alleviate throat pain. If the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If inflammation recurs, consider surgical treatment, while also paying attention to a light diet and nutritional supplements to aid in recovery.
