Question
My daughter is 6 months old and is crying and distressing due to severe sore throat, cough, and low fever. How can we treat her tonsillitis more effectively?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis who are crying and distressed, the following treatment methods can be adopted based on their symptoms: Firstly, administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication; secondly, choose regional therapy such as laser therapy or drug irrigation; if severe throat pain is present, use painkillers appropriately; if the child also has a fever, consider using fever-reducing medication. However, if the fever persists, please seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective or symptoms recur, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, also pay attention to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
