Question
The baby girl is just 1 month old and has started feeling a sore throat when talking, accompanied by a slight cough and low-grade fever. I want to know how to treat the child’s tonsillitis symptoms.
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately administered to treat a child’s tonsillitis, along with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, and laser therapy. If the child primarily complaints of throat pain, painkillers can be considered to relieve symptoms. If there is persistent fever, timely use of antipyretic drugs can be made, and physical cooling methods can be adopted if the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the medication treatment is ineffective and there are repeated occurrences, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to a light diet, with fluids being the main choice.
