Question
Baby boy, 3 months old, with a sore throat accompanied by coughing and low fever. How should tonsillitis pain be treated?
Answer
Currently, the main methods for treating pediatric tonsillitis in clinical practice are the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose systemic treatment based on symptoms, and also consider regional treatments to enhance the effect, such as tonsil crypt irrigation, direct drug injection, etc. For throat pain, analgesics can be administered, and antipyretics should be used when there is a fever. If the fever is severe, it is recommended to seek medical attention as soon as possible. In addition to medication, if tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment can also be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to provide adequate nutrition, eat a light diet, get plenty of rest, and avoid fatigue.
