Question
A 4-month-old girl is experiencing sore throat while speaking, accompanied by severe coughing and persistent fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis with fever be treated?
Answer
It is recommended to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to treat the child, which can significantly alleviate inflammatory symptoms. At the same time, systemic treatment can be conducted, and regional treatments can be selected to enhance efficacy, such as pus cavity irrigation and direct injection into the tonsils. If the child primarily exhibits throat pain, painkillers can be administered to relieve discomfort. For fever symptoms, antipyretics can be taken; in severe cases, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to medication, if inflammation recurs, parents may consider surgical treatment under a doctor’s guidance. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain warmth and avoid causing more severe symptoms.
