Question
A 7-month-old girl is experiencing severe sore throat, cough, and persistent fever. What are the effective treatment methods for red swelling of a child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
Select appropriate sensitive antibiotic medications based on the results of bacterial culture and treatment, and simultaneously perform regional therapy such as rinsing or direct medication to enhance the therapeutic effect. If the sore throat is severe, painkillers can be used. For persistent fever, fever-reducing drugs should be administered. If the body temperature is below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used. If there are recurrent acute severe symptoms or complications have already occurred, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, ensure adequate rest and consume more vegetables and fruits.
