Question
A six-month-old girl baby is experiencing swallowing pain, severe coughing, and persistent high fever, suspected to be tonsillitis. How should the diagnosis and treatment be carried out?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, it is usually recommended to use appropriate antibiotics to combat the infection. In addition, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers can be used to alleviate discomfort. For low-grade fever, physical cooling measures can be taken; if the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, immediate medical attention should be sought. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider early surgical treatment. During the treatment period, special attention should be paid to keeping the child warm and avoiding cold to prevent the condition from worsening.
