Question
A baby boy, just over 5 months old, is experiencing a sore throat and hoarse voice, and has been running a fever. How should one treat pediatric tonsillitis effectively, as it can be quite painful?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can include administering anti-inflammatory medication to the child, as well as regional treatments such as tonsil washing. For severe throat pain, some painkillers may be considered, and if the fever persists, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If there are repeated acute attacks or complications, it is recommended to undergo tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides. Additionally, paying attention to a reasonable diet and rest schedule can help in the recovery from the disease.
