Question
Dear reader, my son is just over 4 months old and has a slight sore throat, along with severe coughing. He has a persistent fever that won’t go down. How should we treat his tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, one can choose some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, or consider regional laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the child is experiencing throat pain, painkillers can be administered. If there is still a fever, consider using fever-reducing medication, but if the fever persists, it is imperative to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, maintain a light diet, and ensure plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
