Question

Dear parents, my daughter is only 9 months old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat, hoarseness, fever, and lack of energy. How should I treat my child’s sore throat due to tonsillitis?

Answer

For the treatment of this condition, consider administering appropriate antibiotic medications to the child, along with regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the child has throat pain, painkillers may be used as necessary, and the body temperature should be monitored; if it exceeds 38.5°C, immediate medical attention should be sought. In addition to medication, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment can also be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended that the child engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
