Question
Dear parents, our baby girl, just 3 months old, is experiencing throat pain when drinking water or talking, with a hoarse voice, and a persistent high fever. How should we treat pediatric tonsillitis and throat pain?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotics can be used for treatment, and regional treatments can also be considered to enhance effectiveness, such as pus pocket irrigation or direct medication injection into the tonsils. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms, and antipyretics can be taken for fever. It is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible for severe cases. If the condition occurs frequently, surgical treatment can be considered after treatment to prevent recurrence. During treatment, keep warm and avoid catching a cold to exacerbate symptoms.
