Question
Dear parents, my 8-month-old daughter has recently been experiencing throat pain accompanied by a slight cough and low-grade fever. How can we effectively treat her tonsillitis and throat pain?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, appropriate use of anti-inflammatory medication can be considered for treatment. In severe cases, regional treatments such as cleaning the tonsillar crypts and injecting medication may be an option. If throat pain is the primary symptom, painkillers can be used; if fever is present, cooling methods should be chosen based on body temperature. If there are repeated acute severe symptoms or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
