Question
The baby girl, currently 1 year old, initially felt pain in her throat when drinking water. She also noticed a slight cough and now has a persistent high fever. How should pediatric adenoiditis with swelling be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are the primary methods and medications used in clinical treatment of pediatric adenoiditis. Parents can choose according to symptoms, or perform regional rinsing or spraying, and can also inject symptomatic medications into the tonsils. The efficacy is good. If the child’s throat pain is particularly severe, it is recommended to use some painkillers to alleviate symptoms. If the child still has a fever, then appropriate antipyretic measures should be taken; if the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently recurs inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. During this period, it is important to ensure that the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
