Question
A 3-month-old baby boy is experiencing a sore throat, slight cough, and low fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
It is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions for the child to take anti-inflammatory medication and consider regional treatments, such as rinsing or applying topical medications to enhance the effect. If the primary symptom is throat pain, it is advisable to administer pain relief medication as needed. If the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be considered. If inflammation frequently recurs, surgical treatment may be an option. At the same time, attention should be paid to a reasonable diet and lifestyle habits to assist the child in recovering quickly.
