Question
A 7-month-old boy is experiencing a sore throat, with slight coughing and a high fever. How can pediatric tonsillitis be effectively treated?
Answer
When treating pediatric tonsillitis, it is advisable to choose a sensitive antibiotic based on the results of a bacterial culture, and also consider combining local treatment methods such as tonsil washing and injections. If the main symptom is a sore throat, painkillers can be considered; if the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. These are common treatment methods. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to replenish nutrition, eat a light diet, and ensure adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
