Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 3 months old. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, and I noticed that he was coughing quite severely and had a slight fever as well. How should I treat his tonsillitis effectively to stop him from crying?
Answer
To achieve better treatment for tonsillitis, you can choose symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. In addition to systemic treatment, consider regional treatments to enhance efficacy, such as pus pocket irrigation and direct tonsil injection of medication. If the sore throat is severe, you may give some painkillers. If there is also a fever, you can take some antipyretics. For high fever, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. For those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, consider surgical treatment. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life, and consume mainly liquid foods during the treatment period.
