Question
The baby girl is only 7 months old. Recently, she has been experiencing pain when swallowing water and has difficulty swallowing, along with a high fever that does not subside. How can one effectively treat a child’s tonsillitis and control the fever?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, initial treatment can include anti-inflammatory medications. In severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil lavage or regional injections of medication may be considered. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. For persistent fever, timely use of fever-reducing medication is recommended; if the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If inflammation recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered, while also ensuring the child gets adequate rest and increases intake of fruits and vegetables.
