Question
A 11-year-old boy, in elementary school, has recently started feeling a sore throat and has a more severe cough, accompanied by a low-grade fever. How should tonsillitis in infants and toddlers be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medications can be taken for treatment, along with regional treatment methods such as tonsil irrigation and medication injections. Painkillers and fever-reducing medications may be administered as needed, or medical treatment may be sought. If the inflammation recurs frequently, it is recommended to undergo surgery as soon as possible, while also paying attention to diet and nutritional supplementation to promote recovery.
