Question
A 2-month-old baby boy is experiencing pain when swallowing and difficulty drinking water, along with fever and lack of energy. How should pediatric chronic tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The treatment for this condition includes using symptomatic antibiotic medications and regional tonsil treatments, such as cleaning or injecting medication. For children with severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered, and for those with fever, antipyretic drugs can be taken. If the situation is severe, medical attention should be sought promptly. If there are repeated acute severe episodes or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides. During treatment, it is important to ensure adequate nutrition, a light diet, sufficient rest, and avoiding fatigue.
