Question
Baby girl, five months old, with sore throat and hoarse voice, persistent high fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be administered along with regional treatments such as gargling or regional topical medications to enhance efficacy. For children with severe throat pain, painkillers can be used, and fever-reducing medication can be taken if there is fever. It is recommended to seek medical attention early for patients with high fever. If the condition recurs or is severe, parents may consider surgical treatment. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
