Question
A 7-month-old male baby is suffering from severe throat pain, coughing, and persistent low fever. How can pediatric tonsillitis be effectively treated?
Answer
The first step in treating pediatric tonsillitis is to administer symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication, along with regional drug sprays or laser therapy. If there is throat pain, consider painkillers. In case of fever, it should be treated according to the situation; if the fever exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, medical attention should be sought promptly. Tonsillitis tends to recur easily, and surgery can be considered once the condition is under control. During the treatment period, it is important to keep warm and avoid catching a cold to prevent exacerbation of symptoms.
