Question
My daughter is 7 years old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat, cough, and low fever. What are the effective treatment methods for infant and toddler tonsillitis?
Answer
The main treatment methods for infant and toddler tonsillitis in clinical practice include the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose based on the symptoms, and can also perform regional cleaning or spraying, and if necessary, inject symptomatic medications into the tonsils. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered to relieve discomfort; if there is a fever, choose a cooling method based on body temperature, with physical cooling methods for temperatures below 38.5 degrees Celsius, and oral fever-reducing medications for temperatures above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the drug treatment is ineffective and recurrent, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure adequate warmth and avoid exacerbating symptoms with colds.
