Question
Baby girl, 2 months old, experiences pain in the throat while speaking, severe coughing, and persistent high fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis and sore throat be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately administered, along with local treatment methods such as tonsil irrigation or injection of medication. If the main symptom is sore throat, analgesics can be considered. Use fever-reducing medication promptly if there is persistent fever. If tonsillitis occurs frequently, surgery may be recommended. During treatment, pay attention to nutritional supplementation, a light diet, and adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
