Question
Dear parents, our little girl is only 5 months old and has recently been experiencing pain when swallowing and drinking water. She also has a fever. What is the best way to treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
The main method of clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis is the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose the treatment based on the symptoms, and regional drug sprays or laser therapy may also be considered. If there is throat pain, painkillers can be administered. If the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be given. Tonsillitis often has a recurrent feature, and if the condition continues, surgery may be considered. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to keeping warm and avoiding colds that could worsen the symptoms.
