Question
My daughter is 1 year old and has recently been experiencing sore throat, coughing, and low-grade fever. How can I identify and treat the symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For such conditions, consider administering appropriate antibiotics to the child, while also conducting local treatments such as gargling or topical medication applications to enhance the efficacy of treatment. If severe coughing symptoms are present, it is recommended to use pain relievers to alleviate the symptoms; in addition, if there is a fever, use fever-reducing medication, and seek medical attention early if the fever is high. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrent episodes. If similar situations arise, after controlling the inflammation, consider surgical treatment. Also, pay attention to the child’s diet and rest schedule to promote a quick recovery.
