Question
Dear parents, my son is just over 2 months old. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, accompanied by mild coughing and a bit of fever, as well as a lack of energy. How should we treat the discomfort caused by children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotic medications are commonly used for the treatment of tonsillitis and can be chosen appropriately. If the child’s condition is more severe, regional treatments can also be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. In cases of throat pain, painkillers can be administered to the child. If the child has a fever, it should be treated appropriately. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrent attacks. If similar conditions arise, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Finally, I hope that parents can pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their children as soon as possible, and also pay attention to related preventive and health care work in daily life.
