Question
A 9-month-old male baby recently complained of a sore throat and severe cough, along with a persistent high fever. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis, which is quite painful?
Answer
During treatment, symptomatic medications can be administered based on the child’s symptoms, and regional treatments such as tonsil lavage or injection of medications can also be considered. If the main symptom is a sore throat, painkillers can be used. In cases of persistent fever, timely use of antipyretic drugs is recommended. If there are recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. Additionally, it is important to develop a light diet habit and consume mainly liquid foods during the treatment period.
