Question
A 6-month-old boy is experiencing a sore throat, with a hoarse voice and persistent high fever. What should be the treatment method for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended that parents first administer anti-inflammatory medication to their child and can combine it with some local treatment methods, such as tonsil irrigation and tonsil injections. If the throat pain is severe, appropriate painkillers can be given to alleviate the pain. If fever is present, fever-reducing medication can be taken, and if the fever persists, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. These are among the more common treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis. Additionally, surgery is also a feasible treatment option, especially suitable for children with recurrent episodes. Parents should also ensure their child stays warm to prevent catching a cold and subsequent tonsil infection.
