Question
Dear parents, my daughter is only 7 months old and has initially shown symptoms of throat pain, accompanied by a slight cough. Currently, she has a persistent high fever. How should we treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
To effectively treat tonsillitis, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance and combine them with regional treatments based on the specific situation, including tonsil washing and injection medications. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, it is recommended to use a moderate amount of pain reliever to alleviate the pain and apply fever-reducing medicine promptly when feverish. If the medication is not effective, consider surgical treatment. At the same time, pay attention to providing your child with a reasonable diet and sleep habits to help the disease recover sooner.
