Question
Dear parents, my daughter is only 6 months old. Initially, she complained of pain when swallowing, and it seems she has difficulty swallowing, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should we effectively treat an infant’s tonsillitis when they are crying and restless?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their child under a doctor’s guidance to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. For regional treatment, laser therapy or drug irrigation can be considered. If there is severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered appropriately. If there is a fever, fever reducers can be taken. In case of high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the child repeatedly experiences tonsillitis, surgery is recommended. Parents should also ensure proper warmth and prevent colds to avoid recurrence of tonsillitis.
