Patient's question:

Female baby, only 3 months old, just starting, a little sore in the throat, noticed that her voice is a bit hoarse when speaking. Also, it seems like a low fever hasn't gone away. Please ask: How should tonsillitis pharyngalgia in children be treated properly.

Doctor's answer:

Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture. If the child's condition is severe, local treatments such as tonsillar crypt irrigation or intratonsillar medication may also be used. For severe sore throat, appropriate analgesics can be administered. If accompanied by low-grade fever, physical cooling methods should be applied. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early. Parents should also ensure their child stays warm to prevent colds that could trigger recurrent tonsillitis.
