Question
A 9-month-old boy feels a sore throat when talking, and he is experiencing severe coughing, a bit of fever, and lacks energy. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to relieve the inflammatory symptoms. Regional treatments may consider laser therapy or drug irrigation. If the main symptom is throat pain, some painkillers can be considered. Some children may have fever, and oral fever-reducing medicine can be taken. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical attention. For recurrent episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, pay attention to arranging the child’s reasonable diet and rest habits to help recover sooner.
