Question
A two-year-old girl is experiencing throat pain, slight cough, and persistent fever symptoms. Diagnosed with tonsillitis with swelling, what should be the effective treatment approach?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis with swelling, appropriate anti-inflammatory medication should be administered based on the symptoms. In addition to systemic treatment, consider regional therapy to enhance efficacy, such as pus pocket irrigation or direct tonsil injection with medication. If the child has severe throat pain, a suitable amount of pain reliever can be given. For fever symptoms, use medication with fever-reducing effects. If symptoms are severe, seek medical attention promptly. If inflammation recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, ensure the child stays warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen symptoms.
