Question
A baby girl, just 1 month old, has recently started experiencing throat pain and difficulty swallowing, accompanied by a persistent high fever that does not subside. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated for optimal effectiveness?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be administered, and in severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injection of medication may be considered. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered as appropriate; at the same time, if there is a slight fever, physical cooling methods can be used. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child frequently experiences this condition, after the condition stabilizes, surgery can be considered to prevent recurrence, while also paying attention to a reasonable diet and regular lifestyle to promote early recovery from the disease.
