Question
Dear parents, my son is 5 months old, he has a sore throat, cough, and persistent high fever. How should we treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, the first choice of treatment is symptomatic antibiotic therapy, which can also include regional treatments such as deep throat cleaning and regional drug injections. Painkillers can be administered to relieve the sore throat, and antipyretics can be taken for fever symptoms. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment may also be considered. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to diet and hygiene, and adequate rest should be ensured.
