Question
Dear Baby, she’s just 3 months old and started saying her throat hurts when drinking water. I noticed she has a more severe cough and seems to have a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. How should I treat my infant’s tonsillitis sore throat effectively?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, it is advisable to choose some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance and to complement with regional treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, painkillers may be prescribed to alleviate symptoms. If there is also a fever, antipyretics can be taken as needed. However, if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrent attacks. If similar conditions exist, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After the condition improves, it is suggested to engage the child in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
