Question
My baby girl is only 5 months old and has started to feel a sore throat, severe coughing, and may have a low fever. How should I treat her pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child is diagnosed with tonsillitis, the first step is to use symptomatic antibiotic medications for treatment. Regional treatment options may include laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the child has a sore throat, some painkillers can be considered; if there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be used as appropriate, but if the fever does not subside, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs, surgery may be recommended. During treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet, focusing on fluids.
