Question
My son just turned 3 months old, and he has recently been experiencing a sore throat with difficulty swallowing and a persistent fever. How should I treat his pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
When treating such diseases, you can give the child some symptomatic antibiotic medications. If the condition is severe, regional treatment measures such as tonsil crypt irrigation and injection medications can be considered. If necessary, painkillers can be administered to relieve throat pain. If the child has a fever, it is important to bring down the fever promptly. When the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought immediately. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible. During this period, it is important to ensure the child gets adequate rest and consumes plenty of fruits and vegetables.
