Question
What medication is effective for tonsillitis? Since my child has had tonsillitis repeatedly, the doctor recommended surgical removal of the tonsils, but my family is against surgery. How should we handle this situation?
Answer
When a baby has tonsillitis, proper treatment is essential to prevent recurrent fever. It is recommended to use pediatric cough and asthma granules, amoxicillin granules, and ribavirin granules for treatment. Pay attention to observing the baby’s physical condition, feeding them plenty of warm water, and avoiding colds. Treatment for tonsillitis should be initiated as soon as possible and conducted according to the doctor’s advice, with symptomatic treatment. At the same time, good self-care should be maintained, with a light diet to prevent the worsening of the condition. Thank you for your concern.
