Question
Dear parents, my daughter is only 3 months old. Initially, she had a slight sore throat, and it seemed like swallowing was a bit difficult. Additionally, she seems to have a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. Please ask: How should we effectively treat the sore throat in infants and toddlers with tonsillitis?
Answer
For treatment, first, you can provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. You can also consider regional rinsing or spraying, or injecting symptomatic medication into the tonsils. The efficacy of these treatments is quite good. If the main symptom is throat pain, you may consider giving some painkillers. Moreover, if there is a fever, you can take some antipyretic medication. In case of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrent attacks. If there are similar situations, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Finally, I hope parents can pay attention to this disease and bring their children for treatment as soon as possible. In addition, pay attention to related prevention and health care work in daily life.
