Question
Baby girl, 2 months old, recently has a sore throat and severe cough, accompanied by low-grade fever. Could it be pediatric tonsillitis? If so, how should it be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used to treat childhood tonsillitis, and the choice of medication can be based on the culture results of the pathogenic microorganisms. At the same time, regional treatments such as tonsil washing or regional drug injections can be considered. If the child has severe throat pain, it is recommended to use painkillers to relieve discomfort. If there is a fever, a moderate amount of antipyretic medication can be used, but if the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods. If the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. Please pay attention to this disease and take your child for medical treatment as soon as possible. Also, pay attention to related prevention and health care work in daily life.
