Question
A 7-month-old girl is experiencing symptoms of tonsillitis, accompanied by throat pain, severe coughing, and persistent low fever. How should this condition be effectively treated?
Answer
For such cases, it is recommended that parents, under the guidance of a physician, select appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications for their child to alleviate inflammation. At the same time, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or direct injection of medication into the tonsils can be considered to enhance the effectiveness of treatment. If throat pain is severe, analgesics can be administered in appropriate amounts. For fever symptoms, children can take oral fever-reducing medication, and if symptoms do not subside, immediate medical attention should be sought. If the medication treatment is ineffective and recurrent episodes occur, surgical treatment may be considered. Additionally, attention should be paid to the child’s diet and rest to promote recovery.
