Question
A two-month-old female infant is experiencing symptoms of throat pain, accompanied by mild coughing and fever, and has a poor mental state. How should throat pain caused by pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
In the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, clinical practice primarily involves the use of antibiotic medications, and sensitive drugs can be selected based on the results of bacterial culture, with significant effects. Regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injection of medication can also be considered. If a child’s throat pain is severe, appropriate painkillers may be administered. At the same time, if there are fever symptoms, antipyretic drugs can be taken, and medical attention should be sought as soon as possible during high fever. For cases with recurrent acute attacks or complications, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, encourage children to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
