Question
Baby girl, just 2 months old, has recently been experiencing throat pain and discomfort with difficulty drinking water. She also has a persistent cough and may have a low fever that has not subsided. How should one treat tonsillitis pain in children?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis includes selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial cultures, or performing regional cleaning or spraying. It is also possible to inject symptomatic medications into the tonsils for effective treatment. For throat pain, consider giving some pain relief medications. If there is a fever, appropriate cooling methods can be chosen based on body temperature, such as physical cooling or oral antipyretics. In addition, surgery is one of the effective methods for treating recurrent attacks in children. During treatment, ensure the child receives adequate nutrition, eat a light diet, and get plenty of rest to avoid fatigue.
