Question
A one-year-old boy is experiencing sore throat, severe cough, and persistent high fever, tonsillitis. How should he be treated?
Answer
The primary treatment for pediatric tonsillitis involves the use of antibiotic medications, with appropriate drug selection based on bacterial culture results, which is generally effective. Additionally, regional treatments such as medication sprays or laser therapy can be used, and painkillers can be administered if there is throat pain. If fever persists, antipyretics can be used moderately, but if it does not subside, immediate medical attention should be sought. If the child frequently experiences such conditions, after controlling the illness, surgical treatment can be considered to prevent recurrent episodes. During the treatment period, a light diet should be arranged and nutritional supplements should be strengthened to aid in early recovery.
