Question
Baby girl, 6 months old, is experiencing sore throat, painful swallowing, and severe coughing, along with persistent high fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotic treatment can be chosen based on the results of bacterial culture, and regional drug sprays or laser therapy can also be used. If the main symptom is sore throat, parents may consider using painkillers to relieve pain. If the fever persists, oral antipyretics can be taken. If there are repeated acute severe symptoms or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During this period, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more fruits and vegetables.
