Question
A 7-month-old boy has a sore throat, severe coughing, and a low-grade fever. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis?
Answer
Symptomatic treatment for tonsillitis can include the use of antibiotics and regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or regional medication. If the child primarily has a sore throat, painkillers can be considered to relieve discomfort. If the fever persists, fever-reducing medication can be used or medical assistance sought. If the tonsils frequently become inflamed, it is recommended to consider surgery early. At the same time, pay attention to providing light meals and enhancing nutritional supplementation to promote recovery.
