Question
A four-month-old boy has throat pain when drinking water, accompanied by mild coughing and persistent high fever. How can pediatric tonsillitis be treated for optimal effectiveness?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are typically used for treatment, and regional treatment methods can be chosen to enhance effectiveness, such as pus pocket irrigation, direct injection of medication into the tonsils, etc. When the child experiences throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If the fever persists, immediate use of fever-reducing medication is recommended. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical methods can be used to cool down. If there is a history of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. It is advised that parents pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their child as soon as possible, and pay attention to relevant preventive and health care work.
