Question
A 9-month-old boy has a sore throat, his voice is hoarse, and he has a low-grade fever. How should one treat the symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, you can choose to use anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, as well as local treatments such as tonsil irrigation or injections. If there is throat pain, analgesics can be administered; if there is a persistent fever, fever-reducing drugs can be used or immediate medical attention should be sought. For those with frequent acute severe attacks or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, ensure adequate warmth and avoid colds to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
