Question
The baby girl is just one month old and has started to feel a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and high fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated to achieve better results?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, it is first recommended to provide symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication based on the child’s symptoms, and regional use of medication sprays or laser therapy can also be considered. If the child primarily exhibits a sore throat, painkillers may be considered to alleviate the symptoms. If there is also a fever, fever-reducing medication can be used, but if the high fever persists, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication treatment is ineffective and the symptoms recur, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should also pay attention to keeping the child warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent tonsillitis from recurring.
