How to Effectively Treat a Young Child’s Tonsillitis with Crying and Distress

A baby girl, just 2 months old, started complaining of pain when swallowing, and her voice became hoarse when speaking. It seems she has had a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. How should parents effectively treat a child’s tonsillitis with crying and distress? Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications are currently the primary methods and drugs for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose symptomatic treatments, and if the child’s condition is severe, regional treatments can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the child has severe throat pain, it is recommended to administer painkillers according to the situation. For those with low-grade fever, physical cooling can be applied. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet mainly consisting of light and easy-to-digest foods. Rest should also be prioritized to avoid fatigue.
