Question
Dear Baby, she is just 5 months old. Initially, she said her throat was sore. I noticed she has been coughing quite severely, and she has had a slight fever. How should I treat my child’s crying due to tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, it is first advisable to use symptomatic antibiotic medications. While taking the medication, some regional treatments can also be performed, such as rinsing or direct application of medication, which can help consolidate the treatment effect. If the child’s sore throat symptoms are particularly severe, it is recommended to use painkillers to relieve the symptoms. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, oral fever reducers can be taken. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently recurs with tonsillitis, surgical treatment can also be considered. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life, and mainly consume liquid foods during the treatment period.
