Question
How should one effectively treat a six-month-old baby who is experiencing a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and persistent fever due to tonsillitis?
Answer
The clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis primarily involves the use of antibiotic medications, and appropriate drugs are selected based on the results of bacterial culture, with significant effects. While taking antibiotics, regional treatment can be conducted, such as rinsing or direct medication, to enhance efficacy. If the child’s sore throat is severe, pain relief medication can be considered to alleviate discomfort. For persistent fever, appropriate fever-reducing medication can be used. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. Additionally, attention should be paid to the child’s diet and rest to promote recovery.
