Question
A baby boy just turned 5 months old and feels a sore throat when speaking, accompanied by a slight cough and fever, and seems listless. What are the symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis and what is the best treatment?
Answer
It is recommended to choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Additionally, regional use of medication sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the main symptom is throat pain, slightly analgesic medication can be considered. If fever is present, antipyretic medication can be taken. If high fever persists, it is advisable to seek medical attention early. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
