Question
Dear Baby, she is only 3 months old, and recently she has a bit of a sore throat, her voice sounds a bit hoarse, and she has a slight fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated for the best effect?
Answer
Generally speaking, for pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics can be administered to the child, which is usually effective. If regional treatment is needed, consider laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If there is a fever, appropriate cooling methods can be chosen based on body temperature: if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be used; if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics can be taken. Tonsillitis has the characteristic of recurrent attacks. If there are similar conditions, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
