Question
A two-month-old male infant is experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, severe cough, fever, and lack of energy. How should treatment be administered to children with tonsillitis who are suffering from pain?
Answer
When treating tonsillitis in children, symptomatic antibiotic medications can be administered. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injections can also be performed. For children with pronounced throat pain, analgesics can be used. If there are fever symptoms, antipyretic medications can be taken. If the symptoms are severe, medical attention should be sought promptly. For children with recurrent acute attacks or complications, it is recommended to perform tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides for two weeks. Parents should pay attention to keeping their children well-warmed and avoid catching a cold or the flu to prevent tonsillitis from recurring.
