Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 8 months old and has recently been experiencing throat pain and difficulty swallowing, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should I treat his tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
In treating such diseases, you can give your child symptomatic antibiotic medication, as well as regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections. If the sore throat is severe, appropriate painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a fever, parents should give fever-reducing medication or take the child to the hospital immediately. For those with recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to have the child engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
