Question
My daughter is 1 year old and has started to feel pain when swallowing water, with difficulty in swallowing and a low-grade fever. How should treatment for children’s tonsillitis pain be handled?
Answer
Firstly, provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. Options include localized rinsing or spraying, or even intramuscular injections of symptomatic medications. For throat pain, analgesics can be administered as needed. For persistent fever, use antipyretic medication promptly. Physical cooling methods can be employed. If inflammation recurs frequently, consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, maintain warmth to avoid catching a cold and worsening the symptoms.
