Question
The baby boy just turned 1 month old and is experiencing a sore throat, severe cough, and fever. How should one treat the pain of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can include the use of anti-inflammatory medications based on symptoms, along with regional treatments such as gargling or direct application of medication to enhance efficacy. For severe throat pain, painkillers may be considered, and for persistent fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the condition does not improve, surgical treatment should be considered. It is also advisable to maintain a reasonable diet and lifestyle arrangement to aid in recovery.
