Question
The baby girl is just 2 months old. At first, she felt pain when drinking water, noticed that the coughing was quite severe, and at the same time, it seemed like a low-grade fever had never subsided. Please ask: How can you treat a child’s sore throat caused by tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. Regional treatment options can also be considered, such as rinsing tonsil crypts and injecting medication into the tonsils. If the child has severe throat pain, it is suggested to administer some painkillers according to the situation. If the child keeps running a fever, parents should also give some fever-reducing medication, or immediately take the child to the hospital. These are all commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
