Question

Baby girl, just 5 months old, has recently been experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and persistent low-grade fever. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis pain?

Answer

Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately administered for systemic treatment, while also considering regional treatments to enhance efficacy, such as tonsil pocket irrigation and tonsil injections. If the sore throat is severe, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate symptoms; for mild fever, a moderate amount of antipyretics can be used. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the condition persists or recurs frequently, surgery may be considered for tonsillitis. At the same time, attention should be paid to a reasonable diet and rest schedule to promote recovery.
