Question
A four-month-old boy is experiencing sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and high fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
For tonsillitis, treatment can include selecting anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s supervision, as well as regional rinsing or spraying, or even symptomatic medication injections. If the child has severe throat pain, some painkillers can be used to relieve symptoms; for fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the symptoms do not improve, medical attention should be sought. For recurrent episodes of inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. After the condition improves, it is recommended to let the child engage in appropriate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
