Question
A nine-month-old girl is experiencing sore throat, severe coughing, and persistent fever, suffering from tonsillitis . How should treatment be administered to achieve the best results?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, appropriate anti-inflammatory medications can be administered for systemic treatment, and regional treatment measures such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections can also be adopted. If there is a sore throat, painkillers can be considered. Additionally, if fever symptoms are present, antipyretic drugs can be taken, and in cases of high fever, medical attention should be sought promptly. If recurrent acute severe symptoms occur or complications arise, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to diet and hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
