Question
My baby girl is only 8 months old and has been experiencing throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and fever recently. How should I treat her tonsillitis and swelling?
Answer
It is recommended to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance. These can alleviate inflammatory symptoms and may also consider regional treatments, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or regional drug injections. For children with severe throat pain, painkillers can be used. If the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. For recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. During treatment, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
