Question
My daughter is only 5 months old and has started to feel a sore throat, accompanied by severe coughing and high fever. How should we treat the pain caused by her tonsillitis?
Answer
The clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis mainly includes the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs, regional medication sprays or laser therapy. In cases of severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered, and physical cooling methods can be used if there is a low-grade fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the condition recurs after treatment, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to giving the child a light diet, enhancing nutritional supplementation, and helping them recover quickly.
