Question
The baby girl is only 9 months old and has started to feel a sore throat, accompanied by severe coughing and persistent high fever. How to diagnose and treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be administered, as well as regional treatments such as tonsil washing or injection medications. For children with throat pain, analgesic medications can be given. In cases of persistent fever, timely application of antipyretics is necessary. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be employed. In addition to common treatment methods, surgery is also a viable option, particularly suitable for children with recurrent attacks. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain warmth and avoid exacerbating symptoms with a cold.
