Question
A nine-month-old boy is experiencing sore throat, worsened cough, and persistent low-grade fever, suspected of tonsillitis. How should one treat the pain caused by tonsillitis?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotic medication should be used first. Additionally, regional spray medications or laser therapy can be applied to alleviate pain. If the pain is severe, analgesics can be considered. Some children may have fever as well; in such cases, oral fever-reducing medication can be administered. If symptoms do not subside, immediate medical attention should be sought. For children with recurrent inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment under the doctor’s recommendation. Parents should pay attention to this disease and bring their child to a doctor early on, as well as pay attention to prevention and health care in daily life.
