Question
Dear Sir, my son is just over 5 months old. Initially, he had a slight sore throat, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. Additionally, it seems like he’s been running a low-grade fever that hasn’t subsided. Please ask: How can a child’s tonsillitis be treated effectively, as it is very painful?
Answer
Generally speaking, for pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics can be considered for the child, or regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation and intratonsillar injections of medication. Additionally, for sore throat, painkillers can be administered in appropriate amounts, and physical cooling methods can be used. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medical attention should be sought promptly. If the condition recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgery. After treatment, it is suggested to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
