Question
A 6-month-old girl is showing symptoms of tonsillitis, including sore throat, severe cough, and low-grade fever. How should parents seek effective treatment methods?
Answer
The first step in treating a child’s tonsillitis is to administer appropriate anti-inflammatory medication based on the symptoms. Regional treatments such as laser therapy or medication rinses can be considered. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be given in moderation. For fever, antipyretics can be used as needed, but if it persists, immediate medical attention should be sought. If medication treatment is ineffective and symptoms recur frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to diet and hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
