Question
Baby girl, 9 months old, has a sore throat and hoarse voice, along with a persistent fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment is usually considered, along with local treatments such as rinsing the deep tonsils or injecting regional medications. If the child has throat pain, painkillers can be given, and physical cooling methods can be employed. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. Tonsillitis often has a recurrent feature, and surgery may be considered if necessary. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their children as early as possible, and pay attention to relevant prevention and health care work in their daily lives.
