Question
Baby girl, 1 year old, experiencing throat pain and severe cough, with persistent high fever. How should the pain from tonsillitis in children be treated?
Answer
Currently, the primary treatment for pediatric tonsillitis involves the use of antibiotic medications, which can be selected based on the sensitivity determined by bacterial culture. Additionally, regional application of medication sprays or laser therapy may also be considered. If the child has throat pain, painkillers can be administered; timely use of fever-reducing medication is recommended during persistent fever. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical methods of cooling can be employed. For recurrent episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure adequate nutrition, a light diet, and sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
