Question
A 6-month-old baby girl has a sore throat and hoarse voice, accompanied by fever and lack of energy. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
It is recommended to choose suitable antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to effectively alleviate inflammatory symptoms. In severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injection of medications can be considered. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be taken. If there is a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. It is advised to seek medical attention immediately in case of high fever. If the condition recurs, surgery can be considered to avoid recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet, and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
