Question
Baby boy, just over 4 months old, initially felt a sore throat, with a hoarse voice, accompanied by a low fever. How should the symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used in the treatment of tonsillitis and can be used as appropriate. If regional treatment is chosen, it is recommended to consider laser therapy or medication irrigation. If the child primarily experiences sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be considered to relieve symptoms. If there is a fever, fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the high fever persists, it is advisable to seek medical attention early. If the medication is not effective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. Parents should pay attention to keeping warm and avoiding catching a cold to prevent the tonsillitis from flaring up again.
