Question
A 1-month-old girl has difficulty swallowing and drinking water due to throat pain and fever. How should one treat the redness and swelling of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For such conditions, symptomatic antibiotic medications can be used, along with regional treatments like tonsil crypt cleaning, injection therapy, and laser treatment. Painkillers may be administered if necessary. If there is a fever, cooling methods can be chosen based on body temperature. Additionally, if the child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment may be considered, and precautions should be taken to maintain warmth to prevent recurrent inflammation caused by colds.
