Question
Baby girl, just 2 months old, has a slight sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. How should a child with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
When treating pediatric tonsillitis, you can first administer oral anti-inflammatory medication, and also consider regional irrigation or spray treatment. If symptoms are severe, it is recommended to take painkillers to relieve pain. If there is a fever, you can consider fever reduction. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. If there are repeated acute severe cases or complications, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition stabilizes, it is recommended to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
