Question

A 3-month-old boy has tonsillitis with a high fever, sore throat, and persistent fever. How should it be treated for better effectiveness?

Answer

Currently, the main treatment for pediatric tonsillitis is the use of antibiotics, which can be selected based on bacterial culture to find sensitive medications. Regional rinsing or spraying, as well as symptomatic injections, can also be quite effective. If there is severe throat pain, painkillers can be considered. During a fever, oral antipyretics should be taken; if there is no relief, medical attention should be sought. If the tonsils frequently become inflamed, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. Parents should pay attention to the disease and seek medical treatment early, and do a good job of related prevention and health care work in their daily lives.
