Question
Dear team, my daughter is currently 1 year old. Initially, she felt a sore throat when speaking, and I noticed she had a slight cough along with a low-grade fever. How should a child with tonsillitis who is crying and distressed be treated?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis involves selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation and injectable medications, possibly painkillers, and attention to physical temperature reduction. Seek medical attention if the body temperature exceeds 38.5°. Consider surgery for recurrent inflammation, and emphasize early treatment as well as preventive care.
