Question

A female infant, just two months old, is experiencing sore throat, worsening cough, fever, and a lack of energy. What treatment should be considered for children with tonsillitis who are experiencing severe pain to achieve good results?

Answer

For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, it is first considered to administer antibiotics, combined with local treatment measures such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication, which have good effects. If the pain is severe, painkillers can be given appropriately to relieve discomfort. For fever, appropriate cooling methods should be chosen based on body temperature: if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used; if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be considered. In addition, if tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, encourage the child to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity.
