Question
A 6-month-old boy is experiencing throat pain, difficulty swallowing, and fever. How should tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis involves selecting anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance, performing regional cleaning or spraying, and even administering symptomatic injections. Painkillers can be administered in appropriate doses to relieve throat pain, and fever-reducing medications can be used for persistent fever. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment early on, while also maintaining a balanced diet, paying attention to hygiene, and ensuring adequate rest.
