Question
A two-month-old infant girl initially experienced pain in her throat while speaking, accompanied by severe coughing, as well as mild fever and lack of energy. How should one treat a child’s crying caused by tonsillitis?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the main methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose the appropriate treatment plan based on the condition. For local treatment, laser therapy or drug irrigation is recommended. If the pain in the throat is severe, analgesics can be administered appropriately. When the child continues to have a fever, timely use of antipyretic drugs is necessary. In cases where the fever does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be adopted. If the inflammation recurs frequently, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to maintaining good dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
