Question
My 7-month-old son has a sore throat, severe cough, and is feverish with a lack of energy. How should I treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For the treatment of tonsillitis, you can choose anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance or undergo regional therapy, such as laser treatment or medication irrigation. It is recommended to use painkillers to alleviate throat pain and use antipyretics to reduce body temperature promptly. If the medication is ineffective and there are repeated episodes, consider surgical treatment, while ensuring the child gets plenty of rest and consumes a nutritious diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
