Question
A nine-month-old male infant is experiencing sore throat, severe coughing, and persistent low fever, suspected tonsillitis. How should parents seek appropriate treatment?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are commonly used as the primary treatment method in clinical practice, and sensitive drugs can be chosen based on the results of bacterial culture, with significant effects. Regional medications such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar injections are also effective methods. If the child’s sore throat symptoms are severe, painkillers can be used for relief, and fever can be treated with antipyretics. If symptoms are severe or recurrent, medical attention should be sought promptly, and surgery should be considered after inflammation control. At the same time, parents should pay attention to their child’s diet and lifestyle to help the condition recover sooner.
