Question
Dear parents, my baby girl is only 7 months old. She has just started to feel pain in her throat, even when drinking water. I noticed that she is coughing quite severely and has a low fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
When treating such conditions, you can give your child symptomatic antibiotic medications. You can also complement the treatment with regional methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If your child has a sore throat, you can also consider giving some painkillers. If your child has a fever, it should be treated appropriately; if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These are common treatment methods. However, if your child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery early on. After the condition improves, it is suggested to let your child engage in moderate exercise to enhance their immunity and prevent recurrence.
