Question
My daughter is 5 months old. She started having a sore throat, her voice is hoarse, she has a fever, and she seems listless. How should it be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics and antipyretics are the primary treatments for childhood tonsillitis. Parents can choose according to the symptoms, and combined with local treatments such as rinsing or regional medication can enhance the efficacy. For throat pain, painkillers can be used appropriately. If the fever persists without relief, oral antipyretics can be taken. Surgery is suitable for recurrent attacks, and attention should be paid to a light diet and nutritional supplements to aid recovery.
