Question
Dear parents, our son is just over 1 month old and is experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and persistent low fever. What are the treatment methods and effects of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
The primary treatment for pediatric tonsillitis is to administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments can be considered, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or internal injections of medication. If the child mainly exhibits symptoms of throat pain, parents may consider using painkillers to relieve discomfort. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can use fever-reducing medication or seek medical attention immediately. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. Parents should pay attention to this disease, seek timely medical treatment, and also pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
