Question
A four-month-old boy is experiencing symptoms of tonsillitis, including sore throat, hoarseness, and persistent low-grade fever. What are the effective treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
The treatment of pediatric tonsillitis typically involves following medical instructions to administer anti-inflammatory medication. Regional rinsing or spraying, as well as the injection of symptomatic medication into the tonsils, can also be effective. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers may be considered to relieve discomfort. For persistent fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the medication treatment is ineffective and symptoms recur, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid catching a cold to worsen the condition.
