Question
Baby boy, just over 9 months old, at first, said he had a sore throat, noticed that the coughing seemed more severe, and also seemed to have a low-grade fever that never went away. How should the discomfort of pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
For treatment, it is first advisable to provide symptomatic medications based on the child’s symptoms. Regional rinsing or spraying may also be considered, and symptomatic medications can be injected into the tonsils. The efficacy is quite good. In necessary cases, such as when the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, painkillers can be administered. If the child has a slight fever, it should be treated with antipyretics accordingly. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If your child frequently experiences this condition, consider surgical treatment after the illness is controlled to avoid recurrence. Pay attention to a light diet in daily life and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
