Question
Dear Baby, at just 8 months old, she recently experienced a sore throat and slight cough, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How can one effectively treat a child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
The treatment methods for children’s tonsillitis include administering anti-inflammatory medications to the child, performing local rinses or sprays, and intratonsillar injections of symptomatic medications, all of which have good therapeutic effects. For throat pain, painkillers can be given to the child; some children may have a fever and can take oral fever-reducing medicine. If symptoms do not subside, it is imperative to seek medical attention. If a child’s tonsillitis frequently recurs, it is recommended to consider early surgery and ensure that the child gets adequate rest and increases their intake of vegetables and fruits.
