Question
A 1-month-old female infant experiences throat pain during speech, accompanied by coughing and slight fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
For children with tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications can be used for symptomatic treatment, and it is recommended to choose laser therapy or drug irrigation for regional treatment. If the child has throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If the child has a slight fever, it can be appropriately reduced; if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. Tonsillitis often recurs; if the situation is similar and occurs again, surgical treatment can be considered. During treatment, attention should be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest time.
