Question
Dear Baby, currently 1 year old, at first, she said she felt pain when swallowing, and it was found that her coughing was also more severe. At the same time, she has had a slight fever. How should one diagnose and treat the discomfort caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
To better treat tonsillitis, it is recommended to choose some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor. Regional treatments can also be considered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections. If the child primarily experiences a sore throat, parents can consider giving some pain relievers to alleviate the discomfort. For fever symptoms, children can take antipyretic medications. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to these medication treatment methods, if a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest.
