Question
A five-month-old boy is experiencing sore throat, slight cough, and persistent low-grade fever. How should one diagnose and treat children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
Generally, it is suggested to give the child anti-inflammatory medication, and in severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation and injection medications can be combined. If there is a sore throat, painkillers can be considered; for fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. If the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. Ensure that the child gets plenty of rest and consumes a lot of fruits and vegetables. Tonsillitis is prone to recurrence, and in severe cases, surgery may be considered.
