Question
An 8-month-old baby is experiencing symptoms such as a sore throat, severe cough, fever, and lack of energy, tonsillitis. How should treatment be administered to achieve good results?
Answer
The first step in treating tonsillitis is to provide the child with appropriate anti-inflammatory medication based on their symptoms. In addition, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar medication injection, or laser therapy can be considered. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be administered in moderation. For the fever, antipyretic drugs can be considered, but if it persists, immediate medical attention should be sought. These methods are common treatment approaches; however, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. Pay attention to a light diet in everyday life, and mainly consume liquid foods during the treatment period.
