Question

Dear Baby, she is only 3 months old and has recently started to feel a sore throat, with difficulty in swallowing. She has also been running a low fever that doesn’t seem to go away. How should we treat a child’s tonsillitis with crying and fussiness?

Answer

For the treatment of tonsillitis, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, and also combine with regional treatment methods such as tonsil lavage, tonsil injection medications, etc. If the main symptom is throat pain, consider using painkillers. Some children may have a fever, in which case you can take oral antipyretics. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. If a child’s tonsillitis frequently recurs, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. Parents should pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to prevention and health care work.
