Question
A seven-month-old girl baby is experiencing sore throat, mild cough, and fever symptoms, suspected of tonsillitis. What are the effective treatment methods to alleviate the symptoms?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis complicated by high fever, symptomatic antibiotic treatment can be considered, and regional treatment measures such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injection of medication can be adopted. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be used to relieve discomfort. During fever, medications with fever-reducing effects can be taken. If symptoms are severe, immediate medical assistance should be sought. Additionally, for recurrent cases, surgical treatment is also an option. During the treatment period, ensure that the child gets sufficient rest and encourage the intake of abundant vegetables and fruits.
