Question
A four-month-old baby boy is experiencing a sore throat, severe coughing, and low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis and sore throat be treated for the best effect?
Answer
For the treatment of such conditions, it can be considered to give the child symptomatic antibiotic medications, along with regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and injection of medications. When the sore throat is severe, painkillers can be used in moderation, and antipyretics or medical assistance should be sought if there is a persistent fever. For children with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgery can also be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure sufficient rest time.
