Question
Baby girl, 1 year old, initially experiencing throat pain with slight cough and low-grade fever. How can pediatric tonsillitis and fever be effectively treated?
Answer
The current clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis primarily involves the use of antibiotics, which can be selected based on the results of bacterial culture. Regional treatment recommendations include the use of laser therapy or drug irrigation. If throat pain is severe, painkillers may be used as appropriate. If the child has a fever, it should be promptly brought down; if it exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought immediately. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment early on. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid exacerbating symptoms with a cold.
