Question
Baby girl, just 9 months old, has started to complain of pain when swallowing, and it seems that swallowing is a bit difficult. Additionally, she seems to have a persistent low fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
To treat pediatric tonsillitis, parents can first give the child some anti-inflammatory medication. If the child’s condition is more severe, regional treatments can be combined, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. If the child has a sore throat, some painkillers can be given as needed. Additionally, if there is a fever, some antipyretics can be taken. In case of high fever, it is still recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These are some commonly used treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is suggested to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
