Question
My daughter is 4 months old. Initially, she felt pain in her throat even when drinking water, and now she has a persistent high fever. How should we treat infant tonsillitis effectively, as it is quite painful?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child. At the same time, consider regional treatments in addition to overall treatment, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and direct medication injection into the tonsils. If the child experiences significant throat pain, painkillers can be administered as appropriate; if the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. In addition to these common methods, surgery is also a viable treatment option for children with recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
