Question

A seven-month-old girl is experiencing swallowing pain, severe coughing, and persistent fever, which may indicate tonsillitis. How should treatment be conducted?

Answer

For children with tonsillitis, appropriate anti-inflammatory medications are typically administered, and regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection medications can be considered. If the child has significant throat pain, painkillers can be used to relieve discomfort. When there is a persistent fever, parents should administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, early surgical treatment is recommended. Additionally, a light diet is advisable, with a focus on liquid foods during the treatment period.
