Question
Dear team, my son is just over 3 months old and has recently been feeling uncomfortable with a hoarse voice, along with a slight fever. What is the treatment effectiveness for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be used, along with local treatments such as gargling or topical medication to reinforce the treatment. If the child experiences severe throat pain, painkillers may be considered. If the child continues to have a fever, parents can use fever-reducing medication or seek immediate medical attention. Tonsillitis often has a recurrent nature, so if the condition persists, surgery may be considered after the inflammation is controlled. Additionally, attention should be paid to reasonable dietary and rest arrangements to help the child recover sooner.
