Question
My daughter is 4 months old and has a sore throat when drinking water, slight cough, and low fever. How should she be treated for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Firstly, provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms, and consider regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, internal medication injection, or laser treatment. If there is significant throat pain, painkillers may be considered to alleviate symptoms. For fever, use antipyretics in appropriate amounts; if the fever persists, seek medical attention promptly. Surgery is a method of treatment for recurrent episodes, and after healing, it is recommended that the child engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
