Question
A 2-month-old boy is experiencing throat pain along with a slight cough and low-grade fever that does not subside. How should one treat the sore throat in pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Parents are advised to select the appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate the inflammatory symptoms in their child. For children with significant throat pain, regional analgesics can be used; if fever persists, oral antipyretics can be administered. If the medication is ineffective or if there are recurrent episodes, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During treatment, attention should be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and providing sufficient rest time.
