Question
Baby boy, just over 8 months old, experiences throat pain when talking, accompanied by severe coughing and a slight fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated if it’s very painful?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis includes antibiotic medications, regional treatment or regional sprays, and can also involve symptomatic injections. In some cases, surgical treatment may be considered to prevent recurrent episodes. At the same time, attention should be paid to maintaining warmth to avoid worsening symptoms. Painkillers and fever reducers can be administered as needed, and if the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible. During the treatment period, sufficient warmth should be provided to avoid exacerbating the symptoms.
