Question
My daughter is 1 year old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat, slight cough, and persistent fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The treatment for a child’s tonsillitis can involve selecting a sensitive antibiotic based on bacterial culture, and can also include regional treatment methods such as tonsil lavage and tonsil injection. Additionally, painkillers can be administered to relieve pain, such as using fever-reducing medication when the throat is severely painful. If the child continues to have a fever, it should be addressed promptly. Apart from these treatment methods, if the child’s tonsils frequently become inflamed, consulting a doctor about the possibility of surgical treatment may be necessary. For the child’s health, it is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease and seek medical treatment early; daily precautions and healthcare work should also be emphasized.
