Question
A 9-month-old boy is complaining of throat pain and difficulty swallowing, accompanied by a low fever. How should the pain from pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, antibiotic medication can be used for treatment, as well as regional laser therapy or drug irrigation. For throat pain, parents can consider giving painkillers. In case of persistent fever, it is advisable to use antipyretic drugs, while mild fever can be considered for physical cooling. Surgery is another viable option for children with recurrent episodes. During the treatment, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
