Question
The baby girl is only 3 months old and has started to feel a sore throat, pain when drinking water, a slightly hoarse voice, and a bit of fever with a lack of vitality. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated for the best effect?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under the guidance of a doctor to treat their child effectively, which can help alleviate the inflammatory symptoms. In addition to medication, some regional treatments such as washing can be performed to strengthen the treatment effect. For children with severe sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be used. At the same time, physical fever reduction can be performed for patients with low-grade fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. In addition to common methods, surgery is also an effective option for children with recurrent attacks. Parents should also pay attention to keeping warm in their daily lives to avoid catching a cold and causing the tonsillitis to flare up again.
