Question
A baby boy, just over 8 months old, is experiencing pain when swallowing or drinking, along with a slight cough. He has a persistent fever. How should a child’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, anti-inflammatory medication can be administered. Regional drug spray or laser treatment can also be considered. Painkillers may be given to alleviate severe throat pain, and antipyretics should be used promptly to bring down the fever. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be considered. If the child repeatedly experiences inflammation, surgery may be an option. After recovery, it is recommended to let the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
