Question
My son is 7 months old and has recently developed symptoms of throat pain, severe coughing, and slight fever. What is the best way to treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Currently, the main methods for treating pediatric tonsillitis are the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Parents can choose systemic medication or regional treatments such as tonsil pocket irrigation or intraoral injections based on the condition. If throat pain is the primary symptom, consider giving painkillers and moderately reducing fever based on the fever situation. If the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as soon as possible, while also paying attention to reasonable health and rest arrangements to promote recovery.
