Question

Dear parents, our daughter is currently 1 year old and has just started saying that her throat hurts. We’ve noticed she has a slight cough as well, and now she has a persistent high fever. How should we treat her pediatric tonsillitis effectively?

Answer

Currently, in clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are primarily used. The choice of sensitive medication can be made based on bacterial culture, which is effective. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be administered. Painkillers can also be given to children for throat pain. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not subside, it is essential to seek medical attention. These methods are among the commonly used for treating tonsillitis.
