Question
A four-month-old baby boy is experiencing symptoms such as throat pain when speaking, difficulty swallowing, fever, and lack of energy. How should one treat pediatric tonsillitis and high fever?
Answer
Antibiotics are commonly used to treat tonsillitis and can be prescribed depending on the situation. Additionally, regional use of medication sprays or laser therapy may also be helpful. If throat pain is severe, painkillers can be considered to relieve symptoms. If the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the tonsils repeatedly become inflamed, it is recommended to consider surgery as soon as possible. During treatment, it is advisable to maintain a light diet, focusing on liquid foods.
