Question
Dear Parent, my son is just over 9 months old. Initially, he complained of pain when swallowing, and I noticed that he was coughing more severely. He also had a slight fever and seemed less energetic. How should I treat his tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture, along with regional drug sprays or laser therapy. If the child experiences severe throat pain, appropriate painkillers can be administered; for fever, a suitable fever-reducing medicine can be given. If the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgery early on. Parents should also ensure warmth to prevent further inflammation.
