Question
A 1-month-old boy has just started to feel a sore throat when speaking, and his cough is quite severe. He also has a low-grade fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, parents can consider giving symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and also regional treatments, such as gargling or applying medication, to help stabilize the efficacy. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered; for fever symptoms, antipyretic medication can be taken. If the condition is severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If the baby frequently experiences this situation, after treatment and control, surgery can be considered to avoid recurrence. At the same time, attention should be paid to arranging reasonable dietary and lifestyle habits to aid in a quicker recovery from the illness.
