Question
My daughter is 7 months old and has recently been experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, severe coughing, and fever, which may indicate pediatric tonsillitis. How should this condition be treated?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, treatment can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, or opting for regional treatments such as laser therapy or medication irrigation. For children with pronounced throat pain, painkillers can be administered, along with timely application of fever-reducing medication. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling (cooling) can be considered. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be an option. Additionally, parents should ensure warmth to prevent catching a cold and triggering another episode of tonsillitis.
