Question
The baby girl, just 9 months old, has just started saying she has a sore throat. She was found to have a hoarse voice when speaking and has been slightly feverish. How should pediatric tonsillitis with crying be treated?
Answer
For treatment, it is first recommended to administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms. For regional treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation is suggested. If necessary, such as when the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, painkillers can also be given. Additionally, if there is a fever, fever reducers can be taken. For high fevers, it is still recommended to seek medical attention early. In addition to these drug treatment methods, if the child frequently develops tonsillitis, surgical treatment can also be considered. During treatment, it is also important to pay attention to arranging light meals for the child and supplementing nutrition to help promote recovery as soon as possible.
