Question
A six-month-old male baby is experiencing sore throat, hoarseness, and persistent fever, tonsillitis. How should treatment be conducted?
Answer
In treating pediatric tonsillitis, clinical practice primarily involves the use of antibiotic medications, and sensitive drugs can be selected based on the results of bacterial culture, with good efficacy. Regional treatment methods include tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child has severe throat pain, painkillers may be considered to relieve discomfort. For persistent fever, appropriate antipyretics can be used. Tonsillitis may recur, and if the condition persists, surgery may be considered after inflammation control. It is advisable to maintain a light diet and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
