Question
The baby boy is just over 1 month old. He has just started to feel pain when swallowing water. It seems that his cough is also quite severe, and he has a bit of a fever with a lack of energy. How should one treat a child’s sore throat due to tonsillitis for better effectiveness?
Answer
It is appropriate to administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications, and also to combine with some local treatment methods, such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injections, etc., which are all good options. For children with obvious symptoms of throat pain, analgesic medications can be used. Some children may also have a fever, and in this case, you can give the child oral antipyretics. If the condition cannot be relieved, it is necessary to seek medical attention. For those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, consider surgical treatment. At the same time, also pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and lifestyle for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
