Question
The baby girl is just one month old, with a severe sore throat, cough, and persistent low fever. How should a child’s tonsillitis be treated effectively?
Answer
Generally, for pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics can be administered to the child, along with regional rinsing or spray medications, which are also effective. Injections of symptomatic drugs into the tonsils are also beneficial. It is recommended to use painkillers as needed, and if fever occurs, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If there is no improvement, medical assistance should be sought. For those with frequent acute severe cases or complications, It is advisable to perform a tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation has subsided. During treatment, it is important to supplement nutrition, maintain a light diet, ensure adequate rest, and avoid fatigue.
