Question

Baby girl, 6 months old, with sore throat and hoarse voice, accompanied by slight fever. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis?

Answer

Currently, clinical practice commonly uses antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs to treat pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose the appropriate medication based on the symptoms. Additionally, regional use of sprays or laser therapy can also be considered. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered; if there is fever, temperature should be monitored and medical attention should be sought immediately if it exceeds 40 degrees Celsius. In addition to medication treatment, if the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment can be considered. After recovery, it is recommended that children engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
