Question
Baby boy, just over 4 months old, has difficulty speaking due to throat pain and swallowing, accompanied by a low fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated for better effects?
Answer
Generally speaking, for pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic treatment can be given, which is effective. Regional treatments such as tonsil washing, regional drug injection, or laser therapy can also be considered. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can use fever-reducing medicine or immediately take the child to the hospital for medical attention. If the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgery early. During this period, ensure the child gets plenty of rest and consumes more vegetables and fruits.
