Question
A 2-month-old boy experiences pain when swallowing water, accompanied by mild coughing and persistent low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated to achieve better results?
Answer
It is recommended to appropriately use antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications, and regional application of medication sprays or laser therapy can be considered. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms. At the same time, lower the body temperature, and seek medical attention promptly if the temperature exceeds 38.5°C. If there are multiple outbreaks or complications, it is suggested to consider tonsillectomy after two weeks. It is important to keep warm during treatment to avoid exacerbating symptoms due to colds.
