Question
A nine-month-old male infant is experiencing sore throat, hoarseness, and persistent high fever. Diagnosed with tonsillitis, how should this condition be effectively treated?
Answer
The treatment of children’s tonsillitis usually involves following medical instructions to use anti-inflammatory medications and may consider regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injections. If the child has severe throat pain, analgesics can be used to relieve discomfort. For persistent fever, antipyretic drugs can be administered. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, it is recommended to maintain a light diet, focusing on liquid foods.
