Question
Dear reader, my daughter is only 7 months old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when talking, and I noticed she had some difficulty swallowing. Now, she has a persistent high fever. How should we treat her tonsillitis pain?
Answer
In clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic medication is primarily used, and the choice of medication can be based on bacterial culture to select sensitive drugs, which yield good results. Concurrently with systemic treatment, regional therapy can also be chosen to enhance efficacy, including methods such as tonsil pocket irrigation and direct injection of medication into the tonsil. For children with prominent symptoms of throat pain, analgesic medication can be administered. If the child has a fever, it should be considered for fever reduction. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If a child repeatedly experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is also important to maintain hygiene in diet and ensure adequate rest time.
