Question
Baby boy, 9 months old, with sore throat, persistent cough, and low-grade fever that has not subsided. How should one handle a child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture; in severe cases, regional treatments such as tonsil washing or injection of medication may be considered; if there is throat pain, painkillers can be used; for fever, oral antipyretics can be taken, but if they are ineffective, medical attention is necessary; tonsillitis tends to recur easily, so after inflammation control, surgery can be considered. Pay attention to diet and hygiene as well as adequate rest during the treatment process.
