Question
Baby boy, just over 4 months old, recently experiencing sore throat, severe coughing, and persistent slight fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The common method for treating pediatric tonsillitis currently involves the use of antibiotic medications, which can be selected and used in appropriate doses. If the condition is severe, regional treatments such as tonsil washing and injection medications can be combined. If the baby has a sore throat, some painkillers can be considered; for persistent fever, timely use of antipyretics is recommended, and physical cooling methods can be adopted when the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius. These are the usual treatment methods. If pediatric tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery early on, while also paying attention to providing light and nutritious food, which will help in recovery.
