Question
An 8-month-old baby girl is experiencing throat pain, difficulty drinking water, and mild coughing along with a persistent high fever due to tonsillitis. How should this condition be treated?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis can be treated with antibiotic medications, along with regional therapy such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication injections. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers may be considered, along with physical cooling measures. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child experiences recurrent inflammation, the doctor may suggest surgery. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in moderate exercise, enhance immunity, and prevent recurrence.
