Question
Dear Baby, currently 4 years old, just started saying she has a sore throat, found that the cough seems more severe, and it seems like the low fever hasn’t gone away. Please ask: How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis crying for the best effect?
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are mainly used, and sensitive drugs can be selected based on bacterial culture, with good effects. In addition, regional treatments can be performed, including tonsil crypt irrigation, tonsil injection with medication, and laser treatment. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, parents are advised to consider giving some painkillers to relieve the discomfort. If the child continues to have a fever, apply antipyretics promptly. For temperatures not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If there is a recurrent inflammatory condition, consider surgical treatment. Lastly, I hope parents can pay attention to this disease and take children to medical treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, also pay attention to doing well with relevant prevention and health care work.
