Question
Baby girl, just 4 months old, shows signs of throat pain, accompanied by severe coughing and persistent fever. How to diagnose and treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating this condition, consider administering symptomatic antibiotic medications to the child, along with local treatments such as gargling or applying local medications to reinforce the efficacy. For children with significant throat pain, painkillers may be considered; if there is a fever, appropriate cooling measures should be taken. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. If the condition recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. During this period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
