Question
My daughter is 1 year old. She has just started to feel a sore throat when she speaks, and I noticed she’s been coughing quite severely, and she’s also a bit feverish. How should I treat her pediatric tonsillitis and sore throat effectively?
Answer
If a child is diagnosed with tonsillitis, antibiotic medications can be used for symptomatic treatment first. Additionally, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, internal drug injections, and laser therapy can be considered. When the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be given to alleviate the discomfort. Some children may have a fever, in which case oral fever reducers can be administered. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is essential to seek medical attention. These are common treatment methods. However, if a child repeatedly suffers from tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment early on. Lastly, parents should pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to related preventive and health care work.
