Question
A 7-month-old boy is experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, discomfort while drinking, hoarseness, and persistent fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
Consider administering appropriate amounts of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications, and regional treatments can be performed, such as tonsil crypt irrigation, internal medication injection, or laser treatment. For severe throat pain, analgesics can be considered. If there is a fever, appropriate amounts of antipyretic drugs can be used. If the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the inflammation recurs frequently, surgical treatment can be considered. During this period, attention should be paid to diet and hygiene as well as adequate rest.
