Question
Dear Baby Girl, currently 9 years old, at first, she said she felt pain when swallowing, and it seemed a bit difficult to swallow. She also had a low-grade fever. How should crying children with tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are mainly used, and sensitive medications can be selected based on bacterial culture, with good effects. If the child’s condition is more severe, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and drug injections can be combined. If the child primarily has sore throat symptoms, it is recommended that parents consider giving some painkillers to relieve discomfort. If there is a fever, choose a cooling method based on body temperature; physical cooling can be used for temperatures below 38.5 degrees Celsius, while oral fever-reducing medication can be taken for higher temperatures. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, pay attention to a light diet and nutritional supplements to help the child recover sooner.
