Question
Dear Baby, currently 2 years old, just started feeling a sore throat and has developed severe coughing and fever. I would like to know how to treat pediatric tonsillitis and resolve the fever issue.
Answer
To treat pediatric tonsillitis effectively, it is recommended to choose some anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance for symptomatic treatment. You can also opt for regional treatments, such as cleaning the deep crypts of the tonsils or injecting medications into the tonsils. Additionally, you can administer painkillers based on the child’s condition, especially when the throat is severely painful, which helps alleviate suffering. If the child has fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be taken. If the situation is severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment early on. At the same time, pay attention to arranging a reasonable diet and rest habits for the child to help the disease recover sooner.
