Question
Dear Mom, my baby girl is just 4 months old. Initially, she felt pain when drinking water, and it seems her coughing has also become more severe. Moreover, she has a persistent high fever. How should I treat my child’s tonsillitis crying to achieve good results?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, it is first recommended to use symptomatic antibiotic medications, and regional treatments can also be considered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections. If the sore throat is severe, some painkillers can be appropriately administered. If the child still has a slight fever, then it is advisable to consider fever reduction measures. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, it is suggested to consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
