Question
Baby boy, just over 2 months old, initially felt a sore throat, with his voice becoming hoarse. Now he has a persistent high fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Symptomatic treatment for tonsillitis can involve anti-inflammatory medications. It is recommended to choose laser therapy or pharmaceutical irrigation. If the main symptom is sore throat, painkillers can be considered to relieve the symptoms. For fever, antipyretics can be used. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible. If medication treatment is ineffective and the condition recurs frequently, surgical treatment is recommended. Parents are advised to pay attention to keeping warm to avoid colds that may trigger a recurrence of tonsillitis.
