Question
Dear Baby, she’s just one month old. Initially, she mentioned that swallowing was painful, and I noticed that her coughing seemed more severe. She also has a slight fever and seems less energetic. How should I treat her tonsillitis and crying issue?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, and can also be supplemented with regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the symptoms are primarily throat pain, painkillers can be considered. Some children may also have a fever, in which case you can give them oral antipyretics. If the symptoms do not subside, it is essential to seek medical attention. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child frequently recurs with inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment options. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
