Question
An 8-month-old girl is experiencing symptoms of throat pain, severe coughing, slight fever, and lack of energy. How should throat pain caused by pediatric tonsillitis be effectively treated?
Answer
The treatment for throat pain caused by pediatric tonsillitis typically involves following medical instructions to administer anti-inflammatory medication, and regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication can be considered. If the primary symptom is throat pain, painkillers may be considered. Additionally, if there is a low-grade fever, physical cooling measures should be taken; if the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. Tonsillitis has a tendency to recur; if it occurs repeatedly, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
