Question
My daughter is 1 year old, and she has experienced initial symptoms of throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and low fever. How should I effectively treat her pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child is suffering from tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications can be used for symptomatic treatment, and regional treatment methods can also be adopted, such as tonsil lavage and regional drug injections. For children with severe throat pain, painkillers can be taken, and physical coolingshould be applied for low fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, immediate medical attention should be sought. Tonsillitis has a tendency to recur, and if the situation is similar, surgical treatment can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, pay attention to maintaining good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
