Question
How should I treat my baby’s red and swollen tonsillitis? She is 3 months old. She initially experienced throat pain, accompanied by coughing and discomfort from fever. What should I do in this situation?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, parents can consider giving their child symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and complementary regional treatment methods, such as tonsil washing and injection therapy. If there is a sore throat, painkillers can be administered, and if there is fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be given. If symptoms do not subside, medical consultation is necessary. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment early on. Additionally, parents should ensure warmth to avoid colds that may lead to a recurrence of tonsillitis.
