Question
My daughter is 2 months old and has a sore throat, slight cough, and fever. How should I handle the treatment for her tonsillitis?
Answer
Generally speaking, for pediatric tonsillitis, we can administer antibiotics to the child to treat the underlying cause, which is often quite effective. Additionally, we can use local spray medications or laser therapy. If the child has severe throat pain, it is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate the discomfort. For fever symptoms, you can give the child fever-reducing medication. If the situation is severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to medication treatment, if the child frequently experiences recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, maintain a light diet, and get enough rest to avoid fatigue.
