Question
Dear parents, my daughter is just one month old. Initially, she felt pain when drinking water, and her coughing has worsened. Now she has a high fever that won’t go down. How can we effectively treat a young child’s tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications are currently among the primary methods for clinically treating pediatric tonsillitis, with medication selection based on symptoms. In addition, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, internal medication injection, and laser therapy can also be considered. For children with throat pain, some painkillers can be given. Children with fever symptoms can take some fever-reducing medicine. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. It is advised that parents pay attention to and seek medical treatment as early as possible, and also pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
