Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 2 months old and has recently been experiencing sore throat, discomfort when drinking water, difficulty swallowing, and a slight fever. What treatment methods should be used for infants and toddlers with tonsillitis to be effective?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications can be used for treatment, along with regional therapies such as irrigation or topical medication application to enhance effectiveness. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered in appropriate amounts. If the child has a slight fever, it should be promptly relieved; if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. In addition to the above treatments, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgery may also be considered. It is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
