Question
Dear parents, our daughter is currently 1 year old and has been experiencing a sore throat, difficulty drinking water, hoarseness, and persistent low-grade fever. How should we treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, as well as regional cleaning or spraying, or even injecting symptomatic medications into the tonsils. If the child has significant throat pain, painkillers can be administered; if they continue to have a fever, parents should use fever-reducing medication or take their child to the doctor. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible, and during treatment, it is advisable to mainly consume liquid foods and pay attention to a light diet.
