Question
My daughter is only 3 months old, and she recently started experiencing sore throat, severe coughing, and a slight fever. Could this be infant and toddler tonsillitis? How should it be effectively treated?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, oral antibiotics are typically prescribed, along with regional treatments such as tonsil deep cleaning or injection of medication. For children with severe throat pain, painkillers can be used. If fever is present, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not subside, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute severe cases, it is recommended to consider tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is necessary to maintain warmth and avoid catching a cold to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
