Question
A baby girl, just 4 months old, at first, she felt pain when drinking water, and found that swallowing was a bit difficult. At the same time, she has a persistent fever. How should a child’s tonsillitis and sore throat be treated effectively?
Answer
To treat pediatric tonsillitis, parents can give the child some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. Additionally, regional treatments can be considered, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil intralesional injection, and laser therapy. If the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to use some painkillers to alleviate the symptoms. If the child still has a fever, it should be managed appropriately; if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. Tonsillitis is characterized by recurrent episodes. If similar conditions exist, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. During this period, ensure that the child gets adequate rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
