Question
My daughter is 8 months old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture results, and can also include regional treatment methods such as tonsil washing and injections. If there is severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered; for fever, antipyretics can be taken. For children with recurrent episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. In addition, providing a light diet and increasing nutrition aids in recovery.
