Question
My daughter is only 4 months old, and she experiences pain when swallowing water, has a severe cough, and her high fever does not subside. What is the best way to treat pediatric tonsillitis for optimal effectiveness?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose the appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate inflammatory symptoms in the child. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments such as tonsil lavage or drug injections can also be considered. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. Some children may have a fever along with the illness, and oral antipyretics can be taken. If symptoms cannot be relieved, medical assistance should be sought. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrence, and surgery can be considered if similar conditions are found after treatment. At the same time, attention should be paid to a balanced diet and regular work and rest to help with the recovery from the disease.
