Question
Dear parents, my daughter is just 4 months old and has just started experiencing symptoms of sore throat, severe cough, and low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The most common treatment for tonsillitis is the use of antibiotic medications. This can be combined with measures such as tonsil pocket irrigation and regional injections to enhance efficacy. For children with pronounced sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be used. If there is persistent fever, timely use of antipyretics is recommended. Physical cooling can be applied if the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius. For children with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, pay attention to providing light meals and nutritional supplementation to promote a quick recovery.
