Question

Dear Baby, currently 1 year old, initially had a sore throat when drinking water, severe cough, slightly feverish, and lacking in spirits. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis-induced crying?

Answer

Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medication are the primary treatments for pediatric tonsillitis. Regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be chosen, and painkillers can be used for those with significant throat pain. Choose a cooling method based on body temperature; physical cooling can be used below 38.5 degrees Celsius, while oral fever-reducing medication can be taken for temperatures above 38.5 degrees Celsius. It is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides. Pay attention to prevention and early treatment.
