Question
Dear Baby, she is just 9 months old, she just started to say that her throat hurts, I noticed that her coughing seems more severe, and it seems that she has had a low fever all the time. Please ask: How to treat infant and toddler tonsillitis when it hurts?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, the first step is to use targeted antibiotic medications. While undergoing systemic treatment, regional treatments can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including pus pocket irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. Painkillers can be given to the child for throat pain, and antipyretics should be applied promptly if the child continues to have a fever. If the fever does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the illness is controlled to avoid recurrence. During treatment, it is also important to pay attention to giving the child a light diet and enhancing nutritional supplementation to help them recover as soon as possible.
