Question
A three-month-old boy is suffering from tonsillitis, accompanied by a slight cough and low fever. How should it be treated?
Answer
For treating pediatric tonsillitis, parents can initially administer anti-inflammatory medication to the child and consider regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injection of medication. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. At the same time, if there is a fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. In case of high fever, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If there are multiple acute attacks or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. During the treatment period, it is important to arrange for a light diet for the child and enhance nutritional supplementation to aid in a quick recovery.
