Question
A male infant, 1 month old, reports a sore throat, difficulty swallowing, fever, and lack of energy. What are the treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Sensitive antibiotics can be chosen based on bacterial culture, and regional cleaning or spraying can also be performed, even injections of appropriate medication at the tonsil site, with good therapeutic effects. If the throat pain is severe, painkillers can be considered; antipyretics should be used as soon as possible if there is a persistent fever, and appropriate physical cooling measures should be taken, such as not exceeding 38.5 degrees Celsius. Tonsillitis tends to recur easily; if the condition persists, surgical treatment can be considered. At the same time, attention should be paid to maintaining dietary hygiene and ensuring adequate rest.
