Question
My daughter is only 9 months old and has recently developed symptoms of sore throat and hoarseness, along with a slight fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Currently, the main treatment for pediatric tonsillitis in clinical practice involves the use of antibiotic medications, selecting sensitive drugs based on bacterial culture, and can also employ regional treatment methods such as tonsil irrigation or injection of medications. Painkillers may be administered as necessary to relieve throat pain, and cooling methods should be chosen based on body temperature. If inflammation recurs frequently, parents may consider surgical treatment. Throughout the treatment process, it is important to maintain warmth and avoid catching a cold to exacerbate symptoms.
