Question
Baby girl, 4 months old, experiences pain in her throat when speaking and difficulty swallowing, along with a persistent high fever. How should a sore throat caused by pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The current treatment for pediatric tonsillitis primarily involves antibiotics, which can be selected based on the sensitivity of the bacteria. Additionally, regional application of medication sprays or laser therapy can be considered, and painkillers may be administered if necessary. Physical cooling methods can be employed when there is a low-grade fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, immediate medical attention should be sought. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment early on. Parents should pay close attention to this condition, seek medical treatment for their child early, and also pay attention to relevant preventive and health care measures in their daily lives.
