Question

A five-month-old boy is experiencing sore throat, severe cough, and a low-grade fever. How should one treat a child’s tonsillitis?

Answer

The primary treatment for a child’s tonsillitis is to administer anti-inflammatory medication. Consider regional cleaning or regional spray treatments, and injections of symptomatic medication can also be an option. In severe cases, painkillers may be used appropriately, and fever-reducing medication can be taken if there is a fever. It is important to seek medical attention as early as necessary. If symptoms frequently occur, surgery can be considered after the condition stabilizes to avoid recurrent episodes. Also, pay attention to reasonable dietary and rest arrangements, which can help in the recovery of the illness.
