Question
Baby girl, 1 month old, recently experiencing severe sore throat, cough, and persistent low fever. How should one treat the symptoms of a child’s tonsillitis and swelling?
Answer
The primary treatment for pediatric tonsillitis includes the administration of anti-inflammatory medications. Regional treatments may consider tonsil crypt cleaning, medication injections, and laser therapy. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers should be considered cautiously; if there is fever, antipyretic medications can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention early. Surgery is recommended for recurrent episodes, and attention should also be paid to reasonable diet and lifestyle habits to promote recovery.
