Question
A two-month-old baby girl is experiencing throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and is accompanied by a persistent low-grade fever. How should throat pain caused by pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis typically involves following medical instructions to use anti-inflammatory medications and may consider regional therapies such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injections. If the throat pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be administered. For fever symptoms, antipyretics can be used as needed, but if the fever persists, immediate medical attention should be sought. If there are multiple acute severe attacks or complications, it is recommended to consider tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. Parents should pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their children in a timely manner, and pay attention to related preventive and health care work in daily life.
