Question
My daughter is 3 months old and has a sore throat and a slight cough, accompanied by a low fever. How should I treat the symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
It is recommended to choose the appropriate antibiotic or anti-inflammatory medication under a doctor’s guidance to treat the baby and alleviate the inflammatory symptoms. At the same time, regional treatments such as gargling and topical applications can enhance the efficacy. Be cautious when using painkillers for severe throat pain, and fever-reducing medication can be taken when fever is present. If high fever persists, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication, if symptoms recur, consider surgical treatment. During this period, keep the baby warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the condition.
