Question
A baby boy, 8 months old, claims to have a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and fever. How should one treat a child with tonsillitis who is crying?
Answer
The most common treatment for tonsillitis is antibiotics, with regional treatments including laser therapy or gargling solutions. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be used, and fever can be treated with antipyretics or by seeking medical attention. If the condition recurs frequently, surgery may be considered. During treatment, it is important to maintain a balanced diet and get adequate rest.
