Question

A one-year-old boy is experiencing a sore throat, hoarseness, and persistent low-grade fever, suspected of tonsillitis. How should treatment be conducted?

Answer

For the treatment of children’s tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be administered initially, along with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or drug injections. If the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms. For cases accompanied by fever, antipyretic medication can be given; if symptoms do not subside, immediate medical attention should be sought. If medication treatment is ineffective and symptoms recur frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to dietary hygiene and adequate rest.
