Question
Baby boy, just over 6 months old, has a sore throat, difficulty drinking water, and hoarse voice. Now he has a fever that won’t go down. How should pediatric tonsillitis be diagnosed and treated?
Answer
Treatment for this condition can consider administering appropriate antibiotic medications to the child, along with regional application of medication sprays or laser therapy. It is recommended to use painkillers to relieve throat pain, and if there is a fever, it should be moderately reduced. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, immediate medical attention should be sought. In addition to medication treatment, if the child frequently experiences inflammation, parents may consider surgical treatment. Meanwhile, during the treatment period, it is advisable to arrange for light meals and increase nutritional supplementation to promote a quick recovery.
