Question
A 7-month-old boy is experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications are the main methods of clinical treatment for pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose based on the symptoms, and it is recommended to use laser therapy or medication irrigation during regional treatment. For throat pain, painkillers can be administered to the child. If fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken. If high fever persists, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. In addition to medication, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment. At the same time, pay attention to providing a light diet, increasing nutritional supplementation, and promoting recovery.
