Question
My son is 1 year old. Initially, I noticed that when he speaks, his voice sounds a bit hoarse and he has been running a slight fever. How should I treat an infant’s tonsillitis and sore throat?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be administered. For children with pronounced sore throat symptoms, pain-relieving medications can be used. Some children may also have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. If the medication is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Pay attention to a light diet, and consume mainly liquid foods during treatment.
