Question
A one-month-old girl baby is experiencing throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and persistent low-grade fever, tonsillitis . How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily involves the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose appropriate medications based on the doctor’s advice. At the same time, regional treatments such as rinsing or direct medication can enhance the efficacy. If the baby has severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered. When accompanied by low-grade fever, physical cooling measures can be taken. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, immediate medical attention should be sought. In addition, for recurrent cases, surgical treatment is also an option. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
