Question
Dear parents, our son is 8 months old and has recently been suffering from a sore throat, severe cough, and low-grade fever. How should we treat his pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Generally, pediatric tonsillitis can be treated with antibiotics, supplemented by local treatments such as rinsing and drug injections. Painkillers can be administered to relieve pain, and antipyretics to control fever. Surgery may be applicable for children with recurrent attacks, and attention should be paid to light and nutritious diet and supplementation.
