Question

A baby girl, just one month old, has started to express throat pain, accompanied by severe coughing and persistent low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis with throat pain be treated?

Answer

For this condition, it is recommended to administer anti-inflammatory medication as advised by a doctor. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injection of medication can also be considered. If the throat pain is severe, some painkillers can be appropriately administered. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can give fever-reducing medicine or immediately take the child to the hospital. In addition to these medication treatments, if the child experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment. After the condition improves, it is suggested to allow the child to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
