Question
Dear parents, my baby girl is only 2 months old. She just started saying that it hurts when she swallows, and I’ve noticed that her coughing seems more severe. At the same time, she seems to have a low-grade fever that hasn’t gone away. What should I do to treat the discomfort of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For treatment, you can first give the child symptomatic medications based on their symptoms. Additionally, you can provide regional medication sprays or perform laser therapy. If the child’s throat pain is severe, it is recommended to give some painkillers according to the situation. Some children may also have a fever, in which case you can give them oral fever-reducing medicine. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is necessary to seek medical attention. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrent attacks. If there are similar conditions, after the inflammation is controlled, you can consider surgery. While treating the child, also pay attention to arranging a light diet for them, enhancing nutritional supplementation, and helping them recover as soon as possible.
