Question
A one-year-old girl is experiencing sore throat, worsening cough, and persistent low fever, suspected tonsillitis . How should she be treated to achieve the best results?
Answer
The treatment for tonsillitis typically involves antibiotics, with the choice of medication tailored to the severity of the condition. Additionally, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication can help alleviate symptoms. If the child is experiencing throat pain, appropriate pain relievers can be used. For fever management, consider giving fever-reducing medication, but if the fever persists, immediate medical attention is required. If medication treatment is ineffective and there are recurrent episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, attention should be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and rest schedule for the child to promote recovery.
