Question
Dear reader, my daughter is currently 1 year old and has just started complaining of a sore throat, and I’ve noticed she has difficulty swallowing. Now, she has a persistent high fever. What are the effective treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis with crying and restlessness?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be used first, along with regional rinsing or spraying, or even injecting symptomatic medication into the tonsils, which are all effective treatments. If the throat pain is severe, a small amount of pain reliever can be administered, and for mild fever, physical cooling methods can be adopted. However, if the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Tonsillitis tends to recur easily, so after controlling the inflammation, surgery should be considered. Additionally, it is important to pay attention to reasonable diet and lifestyle habits to aid in recovery from the disease.
