Question
A 7-month-old male baby is experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, cough, and fever. What are the treatment methods for children’s tonsillitis?
Answer
The most common treatment for tonsillitis is antibiotics, which can be chosen according to the situation. In addition to medication, regional treatments can be performed, such as gargling or direct medication application, to accelerate recovery. If the main symptom is sore throat, painkillers can be considered; if there is a fever, antipyretic medication can be taken. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. For those with recurrent acute attacks or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy two weeks after the acute inflammation subsides. At the same time, attention should be paid to arranging appropriate diet and rest habits for the child, which will help in recovery.
