Question
The child is a female, only 3 months old. She experiences pain in her throat while talking, accompanied by severe coughing and persistent fever. How can one effectively treat a child suffering from tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
In clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used, and the choice of sensitive medication can be based on bacterial culture. Regional irrigation, regional spraying of medication, or tonsillar injections with symptomatic drugs are also effective treatment methods. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered; fever-reducing medication can be taken if there is a fever. It is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible in severe cases, and consider surgical treatment to avoid recurrent inflammation. During the treatment period, it is important to supplement nutrition, eat a light diet, ensure adequate rest, and avoid fatigue.
