Question
Dear Baby, she is only 2 months old and is complaining of a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and mild fever. How should we treat her tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
For treating tonsillitis, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, along with local cleaning or spray treatments, or even injections. If there is severe throat pain, painkillers can be used to relieve symptoms. If there is a slight fever, consider using fever-reducing medication. If the fever persists above 40 degrees Celsius, seek medical attention immediately. If there are recurrent acute severe cases or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy within two weeks after the inflammation subsides. Maintain a light diet and consume mainly fluids during treatment.
