Question
An eight-month-old girl baby is experiencing throat pain, worsened cough, fever, and lack of energy, suspected to be tonsillitis. How should one effectively treat the pain caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis usually includes symptomatic administration of antibiotics or other anti-inflammatory medications. For children with severe symptoms, regional therapy such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication can be considered. For children with pronounced throat pain, painkillers can be used to relieve discomfort. If there are fever symptoms, antipyretic medications should be administered. In case of severe symptoms, timely medical treatment is essential. Additionally, for children with recurrent attacks, surgical treatment is also an option. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to keeping the child warm and avoiding catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
