Question
Dear reader, a 9-month-old boy has recently been experiencing throat discomfort, severe coughing, and persistent fever. How should one treat a child with tonsillitis?
Answer
The current common treatment methods for tonsillitis include the use of antibiotic medications, and regional treatments such as rinsing or regional application of drugs can be considered if necessary to reinforce the effect. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be considered; for fever, antipyretics can be used as appropriate, but if there is a persistent high fever, immediate medical attention should be sought. Tonsillitis has a tendency to recur, and surgery may be an option if the condition persists. During the treatment period, it is essential to maintain good dietary hygiene and get enough rest.
