Question
Baby girl, just 2 months old, has started feeling throat pain and is experiencing severe coughing, along with a slight fever. How can we effectively treat the pain of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Currently, the most common treatment for pediatric tonsillitis involves the use of antibiotic medications, which can be considered. Additionally, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injections can also be used. If the child’s throat pain is severe, it is recommended to choose some painkillers to relieve symptoms. If the child has a fever, fever-reducing medications can be taken. In case of serious conditions, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. For recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, pay attention to a light diet, focusing on fluids.
