Question
My son is just 9 months old and has recently been suffering from a sore throat, hoarseness, and a persistent high fever. How can we effectively treat the discomfort caused by pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, the following treatment measures can be taken: first, parents can administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child; second, regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication can be chosen; if the child has throat pain, analgesics can be considered; if there is a fever, a suitable amount of antipyretic medication can be used. However, if the high fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods. If the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as early as possible. During the treatment period, attention should also be paid to dietary hygiene and sufficient rest time.
