Question
Dear Baby, just 5 months old, just started to feel pain when drinking water, found that there is also slight coughing, and it seems like there has been a low-grade fever all along. Please ask: How should a child with tonsillitis be treated for the best results?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be administered, along with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar drug injection, and laser therapy. If the child keeps running a fever, parents should give some antipyretics or take the child to the hospital immediately. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is also recommended to consider surgical treatment. During this period, make sure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
