Question

What are the symptoms of children with tonsillitis? How should it be effectively treated?

Answer

When treating pediatric tonsillitis, parents can consider giving the child anti-inflammatory medication, regional rinsing or spray, or injecting symptomatic medication into the tonsils, which can all be effective. If there is severe throat pain, a small amount of pain relief medication can be administered; if there is a fever, appropriate cooling measures should be taken, and medical attention should be sought as soon as possible if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment early on. It is also worth noting that a baby’s light diet and increased nutritional supplements can help in a faster recovery.
