Question
My daughter is currently 3 years old and has a sore throat with a slight cough, accompanied by a persistent fever. What are the treatment methods for infants and toddlers with tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
The clinical treatment of tonsillitis in infants and toddlers primarily involves the use of antibiotics, selecting sensitive drugs based on the bacteria. Regional treatments such as rinsing or injecting medication can also be adopted. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be used. If there is persistent fever, it should be promptly cooled down; if the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, antipyretic medication can be considered. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrence; after controlling the inflammation, surgery can be considered. Pay attention to rest and consume more vegetables and fruits.
