Question
A baby girl, just 3 months old, recently feels throat pain, has difficulty drinking water, severe coughing, and a bit of fever with a lack of energy. She is asking about the best treatment for tonsillitis in children.
Answer
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can be chosen based on the results of bacterial culture, with sensitive antibiotics used if the condition is severe. Consider regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or drug injections. If throat pain is severe, painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms. If fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be used. If there is a high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent a recurrence of tonsillitis.
