Question
My daughter is 6 months old and has recently shown symptoms of throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and persistent low fever. How should I effectively treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Generally, it is advised to follow the doctor’s recommendations, administering anti-inflammatory medications to the child and considering localized treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or medication injections. For severe sore throat, painkillers may be considered, and oral fever-reducing medication is needed if the fever persists. Tonsillitis often recurs; if similar symptoms occur, surgery can be considered after controlling the inflammation. During treatment, it is important to maintain warmth and avoid exacerbating symptoms with a cold.
