Question
A one-year-old girl is experiencing swallowing pain, mild coughing, and persistent low-grade fever, suspected to be tonsillitis. How can one effectively treat the pain?
Answer
Treatment for tonsillitis typically involves antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications, with parents able to choose appropriate medications based on the physician’s advice. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or drug injections are also effective options. If the pain is severe, painkillers may be considered. During fever, fever-reducing medications should be taken, and immediate medical attention is required for high fever. If the condition recurs, surgical treatment can be considered after the condition stabilizes. Parents should take this disease seriously, seek medical attention for their children in a timely manner, and do their best to prevent and maintain health in daily life.
