Question

Dear Baby, 1 year old, initially reported a sore throat, accompanied by severe coughing and fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated for the best effect?

Answer

Antibiotics are a common method for treating tonsillitis and can be used as appropriate. In addition, regional treatments can be performed, such as cleaning, drug injection, and laser therapy. If the main symptom is a sore throat, consider using painkillers and consider antipyretics as needed. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment while also paying attention to providing light food, increasing nutrition, and promoting recovery.
