Question
A 6-month-old boy has pain when swallowing water, difficulty in swallowing, and a low-grade fever that has not subsided. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications can be appropriately used, with regional administration of medication sprays or laser therapy. Painkillers can be used if necessary, and if there is a fever, consider antipyretic treatment. If the temperature exceeds 40 degrees, seek medical treatment. If there are recurrent attacks, consider surgical treatment. It is important to supplement nutrition, eat a light diet, and ensure adequate rest to avoid fatigue.
