Question

A one-month-old male infant is experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, hoarseness, fever, and lack of energy, suspected to be tonsillitis. How should one treat the crying caused by pediatric tonsillitis?

Answer

For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to use appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to effectively alleviate inflammation. At the same time, regional treatments such as rinsing or direct medication can be considered to enhance the efficacy. If the infant primarily shows symptoms of throat pain, painkillers in appropriate amounts can be administered. For fever symptoms, fever-reducing medications can be used. If the symptoms are severe, immediate medical attention should be sought. These are common treatment methods, but if pediatric tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider early surgical intervention. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the infant gets adequate rest.
