Question
A 6-year-old boy has started to feel a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and has a slight fever with a lack of energy. How should infant and toddler tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, antibiotic medications or local treatments, including rinses, sprays, or injections, can be used. For children with severe throat pain, painkillers may be administered. If there is a fever, it should be treated according to the situation; if it exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention should be sought. If the episodes recur, surgery can be considered after the inflammation is controlled, while also ensuring adequate nutrition, a light diet, and sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
