Question

The baby boy is just over 9 months old. Initially, he felt pain when swallowing water. He was found to have a severe cough and a bit of fever with low spirits. How should the discomfort of infant tonsillitis be treated?

Answer

It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate the inflammatory symptoms. If the child’s condition is more severe, regional treatments can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the child has throat pain, painkillers can be administered as needed. If the child has a fever, it should be treated accordingly; if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the condition is controlled to avoid recurrence. During this period, ensure that the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
