Question
Dear readers, my son is just over 5 months old and has started to feel a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and persistent low-grade fever. How should we treat his red and swollen tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
Generally speaking, antibiotics are one of the effective treatments for pediatric tonsillitis. In addition, regional drug sprays or laser therapy are also common options. For throat pain, analgesics can be considered. If there is a fever, a reasonable amount of antipyretic medication can be taken, but if it persists, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. For recurrent tonsillitis, surgery is a viable option. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to nutritional supplementation, light diet, and adequate rest to avoid excessive fatigue.
