Question
A four-month-old male baby is experiencing sore throat and slight cough. He now has a persistent high fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be effectively treated?
Answer
To effectively treat pediatric tonsillitis, one can choose to take anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance for systemic or regional treatment, such as tonsil crypt irrigation or internal injections. For severe throat pain, analgesics can be considered, and antipyretics can be taken when feverish symptoms are present. If the condition is severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. At the same time, attention should be given to providing the child with a reasonable diet and rest schedule to aid in a quick recovery.
