Question
A six-month-old girl initially showed signs of throat pain accompanied by a slight cough, and now has a persistent high fever. How should crying caused by pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
If a child is diagnosed with tonsillitis, appropriate anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injections can also be performed. If the throat pain is severe, pain medication can be administered in moderation. For children with persistent fever, parents should administer fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical treatment. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider early surgery. During the treatment period, special attention should be paid to keeping the child warm and avoiding exacerbation of symptoms.
