Question
Dear Baby, she is only 8 months old, at first, she said it hurt when she swallowed, and I noticed that her coughing was quite severe. Moreover, she has a persistent high fever now. How should we treat the pain of pediatric tonsillitis for optimal effectiveness?
Answer
For treatment, first, you can administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. If the child’s condition is more severe, you can also consider some regional treatments, including tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. You can also give the child some painkillers for throat pain, and children with fever symptoms can take some antipyretic medications. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgery after the condition is controlled to prevent recurrence. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
