Question
Dear Baby, she’s just 3 months old and just started to feel pain when drinking water. She seems to have difficulty swallowing, and she has a low fever that hasn’t subsided. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis and sore throat be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately administered, and it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication irrigation for regional treatment. If the child’s sore throat is severe, consider using a moderate amount of painkillers. Some children may have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be taken. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, please seek medical attention. In addition to the above common methods, surgery is also a viable treatment option, suitable for children with recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, ensure that the child stays warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
