Question
My daughter is only 7 months old and has started to sound hoarse, feels pain when drinking water, accompanied by severe coughing and persistent fever. How should I treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Currently, the main treatment for pediatric tonsillitis in clinical practice is the use of antibiotics, which can be selected based on the results of bacterial culture. Additionally, regional sprays or laser therapy can be used. If pain is severe, painkillers may be considered. At the same time, physical cooling should be done if the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, and medical assistance should be sought. If there are recurrent attacks, it is recommended to consider surgery early on. After recovery, it is suggested to increase physical activity to boost immunity.
