Question

A seven-month-old baby girl initially felt a sore throat and her voice became hoarse, and now she has a persistent high fever. How should children’s scarlet tonsillitis be treated to achieve good results?

Answer

In treating pediatric tonsillitis, clinical practice primarily uses antibiotic medications and selects sensitive drugs based on the results of bacterial culture, with significant effects. In addition to oral medications, regional treatment can also be performed, such as irrigation or direct medication, to enhance the efficacy. If the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered to relieve discomfort. For cases of persistent high fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be considered. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, parents are advised to consider early surgical treatment. Parents should pay attention to this disease, take their children to see a doctor in a timely manner, and do their best to prevent and maintain health in daily life.
