Question
The baby girl, 8 months old, has recently been complaining of throat pain and difficulty swallowing, along with a persistent low fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
In such cases, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions and administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child. Additionally, some regional treatment methods can be used, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injection medications. For children with significant throat pain symptoms, painkillers can be used. If accompanied by a low fever, physical cooling methods can be employed. When the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are recurrent episodes of inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. After the condition improves, it is advisable to help the child engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
