Question
Dear parents, our daughter is just 9 months old and has recently been experiencing sore throat, severe coughing, and fever. How should these symptoms be treated?
Answer
For throat pain caused by pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic antibiotic medications, regional treatments (such as tonsil crypt irrigation and injectable drugs), and medications to relieve throat pain can be considered. If there is a fever, cooling measures can be taken according to body temperature; physical cooling can be applied if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, while oral fever-reducing medication can be taken if it is above 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the child experiences tonsillitis repeatedly, surgical treatment can also be considered, and attention should be paid to maintaining good dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest during the treatment period.
