Question
The baby girl is only 7 months old, and recently she feels pain in her throat even when drinking water. She also has a severe cough and lacks energy due to fever. What are effective treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child is diagnosed with tonsillitis, the primary consideration is the use of symptomatic antibiotic medications. In severe cases, regional treatment methods can be considered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication. For symptoms of obvious throat pain, painkillers can be used. If the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrence, and if similar symptoms occur after treatment, surgery can be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended that the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
