Question
A six-month-old male infant is experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, mild cough, fever, and lack of energy, suspected to be tonsillitis. How should treatment be conducted to achieve a good effect?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, symptomatic antibiotic medications can be considered for systemic treatment, and regional therapies such as tonsil pocket irrigation or direct injection of medication into the tonsil can be combined to enhance the efficacy. If the child has significant throat pain, analgesics can be used to relieve discomfort; for fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. If symptoms are severe, medical attention should be sought promptly. Tonsillitis may recur; if this occurs, surgical treatment can be considered after inflammation is controlled. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, eat a light diet, and pay attention to rest to avoid overexertion.
