Question
My baby girl is just one month old. Initially, she said her throat was sore, and I noticed she had a slight cough and has been slightly feverish. How should I treat my child’s sore throat if they have tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, the first step is to use targeted antibiotic medications. While undergoing systemic treatment, regional therapy can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including methods such as tonsil lavage and direct medication injection. If the child experiences severe throat pain, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate symptoms. If the child continues to have a fever, timely application of antipyretic medication is necessary. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the disease is controlled to avoid recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
