Question
A baby girl, just 3 months old, is suffering from sore throat, hoarseness, and persistent low fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis and sore throat symptoms be treated?
Answer
When treating pediatric tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotics can be chosen based on the results of bacterial culture. In severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil lavage or drug injection may be considered. For severe sore throat, painkillers can be used in moderation, and physical methods to lower body temperature should be noted. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, immediate medical attention should be sought. For recurrent tonsillitis, surgery is recommended. It is important to keep warm and prevent colds to avoid recurrence.
