Question
Dear Baby, currently 4 years old, at first, she said her throat hurt, and noticed that her voice was a bit hoarse when she spoke, and she also had a bit of a fever and seemed listless. How should we treat an infant or toddler’s tonsillitis pharyngitis for optimal effectiveness?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow medical instructions and administer some anti-inflammatory medications to the child. Additionally, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsillar intramuscular injections, and laser therapy can be considered. If the child’s pharyngitis symptoms are particularly severe, painkillers may be suggested to relieve the condition. In case of fever, antipyretic treatment should be considered accordingly. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgery as early as possible. During treatment, attention should also be given to maintaining good dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
