Question
A 7-month-old girl is experiencing throat discomfort, accompanied by severe coughing and fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
For children infected with tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications can be considered in conjunction with local treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injections. For those withobvious throat pain, appropriate painkillers can be used. If the child continues to have a fever, consider using fever-reducing medication or seeking immediate medical attention. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment early on and mainly consume liquid foods during the treatment period.
