Question
My son, just over 3 months old, started saying he had a sore throat and noticed that his coughing seemed more severe. He also has a bit of a fever and seems less energetic. How should a crying child with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
It is appropriate to administer some antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications. For regional treatment, it is recommended to choose laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the throat pain is severe, consider giving some painkillers while also physically lowering fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°, seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to undergo surgery as early as possible. During treatment, attention should be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
