Baby colds are usually caused by viral infections and do not require antibiotics. However, if symptoms such as tonsillitis, pneumonia, or bronchitis occur, antibiotics should be used under a doctor’s guidance. It is recommended to bring the child to a pediatric department for consultation, take precautions against catching a cold when going out, and check for signs of pneumonia. Treatments should be tailored according to the examination results.
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications are the primary methods for treating pediatric tonsillitis. They can be combined with local treatments, such as tonsil crypt irrigation and tonsil injections. In cases of severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered, and fever reduction is necessary if the child has a fever. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. In cases of recurrent acute severe episodes or complications, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides in two weeks. During treatment, it is also important to provide the child with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in early recovery.
