Question
Dear parents, our baby boy is just over 9 months old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat, slight cough, and fever with a lack of energy. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Common treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis include the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications, with parents able to choose appropriate medications based on the symptoms. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers may be used. If there is a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken, and if the fever is high, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. Tonsillitis tends to recur easily, and if symptoms persist after controlling the inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, it is also important to provide children with a light diet and enhance nutritional supplementation to promote a quick recovery.
