Question
Dear parents, my daughter, who is only 5 months old, has started to speak and feels a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and fever. How can I treat pediatric tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs under a doctor’s guidance to give their child, which can effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Regional treatments such as tonsil washes and intramuscular injections can also be considered. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered, and antipyretics should be used promptly if there is a persistent fever. Physical coolingcan be used if the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may also consider surgical treatment. It is advised that parents take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to related preventive healthcare work in their daily lives.
