Question
A one-year-old boy is experiencing symptoms of throat pain while speaking, difficulty swallowing, and persistent fever, tonsillitis. How should he be treated?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, it is generally recommended to use antibiotics for treatment, which are usually effective. If the condition is severe, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication can be considered. If the child’s sore throat is severe, analgesics can be administered as needed. During fever, appropriate fever-reducing measures should be taken. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention is required. For recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, attention should be paid to the child’s diet and rest to promote recovery.
