Question
A three-month-old male baby is suffering from tonsillitis accompanied by high fever, with sore throat and hoarseness. How should it be effectively treated?
Answer
In the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are commonly used in clinical practice, and appropriate medications can be selected based on the results of bacterial culture. Regional irrigation or spray, as well as intratonsillar injection of symptomatic medications, are all effective treatments. If the baby has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered as needed. Some babies may have a fever as well; in this case, oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms do not subside, immediate medical attention should be sought. For recurrent attacks of tonsillitis, surgical treatment is recommended. Parents should pay attention to this disease, take their children to the doctor in a timely manner, and do a good job of prevention and health care in daily life.
