Question
My 9-month-old daughter has a sore throat when drinking water, mild cough, and persistent fever. How should I treat her pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Appropriate use of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications is recommended. In severe cases, consider regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injection medications. For sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be used. If there is a persistent fever, consider taking antipyretics. If symptoms persist, seek medical attention promptly. If medication is ineffective and frequently recurs, consider surgical treatment. During treatment, keep warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
