Question
My daughter is just 7 months old and has started experiencing sore throat, accompanied by severe coughing and persistent low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated for optimal effectiveness?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be administered based on the symptoms, along with regional cleaning or spraying, or injecting specific medications into the tonsil area for good therapeutic effects. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered, and timely physical cooling (cooling) can be done. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the child experiences frequent tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment early on. During this period, ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
