Question
Dear Baby, she is only 2 months old. Initially, she complained of pain when swallowing, and it seems that her coughing has also become more severe. Additionally, she has a persistent fever that does not go away. Please ask: When a child has tonsillitis, it is very painful. How should it be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately administered for regional treatment, such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intravenous medication injection, and laser therapy. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers can be used; if the fever persists, fever-reducing medication can be taken or immediate medical attention should be sought. Surgery is a method of treating recurrent tonsillitis and is applicable to some children. Parents should keep their children warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent a recurrence of inflammation.
