Question
My daughter is only 8 months old and has recently been feeling a sore throat, accompanied by severe coughing and low-grade fever. It might be pediatric tonsillitis. What treatment methods should be considered?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be considered, along with regional treatment methods such as tonsil lavage or injection medications. When experiencing severe throat pain, painkillers can be given to relieve discomfort. If there is a fever, it should be addressed promptly, and if the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If the medication treatment is ineffective, surgery may be recommended. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, with a diet consisting mainly of light foods, and to ensure sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
