Question
My daughter, who is just one month old, is complaining of a sore throat, severe cough, and persistent low fever. How should she be treated?
Answer
The current common treatments for tonsillitis include antibiotic medications, which can be selected according to the need. Regional treatments such as rinsing or medication application can be performed to consolidate the efficacy. Painkillers can be administered to relieve throat pain, and fever reducers or medical treatment can be considered for persistent fever. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should pay attention to keeping their child warm and preventing colds that may trigger a recurrence of inflammation.
