Question
Dear Baby, currently 5 years old, just started to say that her throat is sore, and it was found that she also has a slight cough, along with a low fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis pain be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs can be provided. In addition to systemic treatment, regional treatment can also be chosen to enhance the efficacy, including methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsil. Painkillers can also be given if necessary. If the child has a fever, it should be considered for antipyretic treatment; if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. The above methods are currently commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis. In addition, surgery is also a viable option, suitable for children with recurrent attacks. Parents should also pay attention to keeping their children warm and preventing colds from triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
