Question

Baby girl, 8 months old, experiencing throat pain, pain when drinking water, severe cough, and low fever. How should one handle the crying and fussing situation in a pediatric tonsillitis case?

Answer

Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately used while also undergoing regional therapy, such as rinsing or direct medication to assist in treatment. Pain relief can be considered for sore throat symptoms, and if there is a persistent fever, a fever-reducing medicine can be used or immediate medical attention sought. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. During this period, pay attention to adequate rest and consumption of fruits and vegetables.
