Question
Dear Baby, currently 1 year old, recently experiencing a sore throat, cough, and fever. How should a child’s sore throat due to tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Pediatric tonsillitis is typically treated with antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications, and regional drug sprays or laser therapy can also be considered. Painkillers can be administered to alleviate throat pain, and antipyretic drugs can help control fever. If the condition is severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, maintains a light diet, gets plenty of rest, and avoids overexertion.
