Question
Dear parents, my baby girl is just 4 months old and has started to complain of a sore throat when swallowing. I noticed she has a slight cough and now has a persistent high fever. How should I treat my child’s sore throat due to tonsillitis?
Answer
In clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used, and the choice of sensitive drugs can be made based on bacterial culture, which yields good results. Additionally, some regional treatment methods can be combined, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections, which are also effective. If the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, it is recommended to use painkillers to relieve symptoms. Moreover, if fever is present, antipyretics can be taken. It is still advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible for high fever. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, early surgery is recommended. At the same time, it is also important to arrange a reasonable diet and lifestyle for the child to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
