Question
A one-month-old baby is experiencing throat pain, severe coughing, and persistent high fever. How can you treat a child’s tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
It is recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child. Consider regional cleansing or using regional sprays, and also injecting symptomatic medication into the tonsils for good results. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered to relieve discomfort. If fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken. It is advised to seek medical attention early during high fever. If this situation occurs frequently, after control, surgery can be considered to prevent recurrence. Parents should ensure warmth and avoid catching a cold to prevent a relapse of inflammation.
