Question
Baby boy, just over 3 months old, at first, he felt pain when drinking water, noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult, and has had a slight fever all along. How should a sore throat in children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
If the baby has tonsillitis, some symptomatic antibiotic medications can be used first. If the situation is more severe, regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or tonsil injections can be combined. If the baby’s main symptom is a sore throat, it is recommended to give some pain-relieving medication. If the baby has a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is advised to seek medical attention early. The above are some common treatment methods. However, if the baby’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment early. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
