Question
A one-year-old boy is experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, cough, fever, and lack of energy, suspected to be tonsillitis. How should it be treated?
Answer
If the child is diagnosed with tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotics for systemic treatment can be considered, along with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injection. If the child has throat pain, painkillers can be administered in moderation. Fever should be appropriately controlled; if the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention should be sought. For recurrent episodes of tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be considered. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to staying warm and avoiding catching a cold to worsen the symptoms.
