Question
My 8-month-old son has recently been experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, mild cough, and fever with a lack of energy. How should I treat his pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
It is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s orders and administer anti-inflammatory medications. Regional treatments, such as cleaning the tonsillar cavity and injecting medications, can also be considered. If the main symptom is sore throat, painkillers may be considered. If there is a fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If symptoms do not subside, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the medication treatment is ineffective and symptoms recur frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. Parents should take this disease seriously, seek medical treatment early, and pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work.
