Question
Baby girl, just one month old, has started to feel a sore throat, accompanied by severe coughing and persistent mild fever. How should one treat pediatric tonsillitis to achieve the best results?
Answer
When treating pediatric tonsillitis, the first step is to administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child, while also considering regional treatments such as cleaning the tonsillar crypts or regional injections. If the primary symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If fever is present, choose a method to lower the temperature based on the body temperature. When the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used; above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. If the child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgery after the condition stabilizes to prevent recurrent episodes. During treatment, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest time.
