Question
A nine-month-old male infant is experiencing symptoms such as throat pain, severe coughing, and persistent low-grade fever, which are suspected to be caused by tonsillitis leading to crying and distress. How should treatment be carried out?
Answer
In the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, clinical use primarily involves antibiotic medications, and appropriate drugs are selected based on the results of bacterial culture, with good effects. Regional treatment methods include tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injection of medication. For children with significant throat pain, painkillers can be used; for those with fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be taken. If symptoms are severe, immediate medical attention should be sought. Tonsillitis may recur, and if the situation persists, surgery can be considered after inflammation control. At the same time, attention should be paid to arranging a reasonable diet and lifestyle habits for the child to aid in an early recovery from the disease.
