Question
Dear Baby, she is only 8 months old and has just started to say that she feels pain when swallowing. I noticed that she is coughing more severely and also has a slight fever and seems less energetic. How should one treat tonsillitis in children when it’s hard to handle?
Answer
For a better treatment of tonsillitis, one can choose some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor, and also can provide local drug sprays or perform laser therapy. In necessary cases, such as when a child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered. If the child also has a fever, some antipyretics can be taken accordingly. However, if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly.
