Question
A three-month-old baby boy has just started to feel throat pain when speaking, with more severe coughing. Now, he has a persistent high fever that won’t go away. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
In terms of treatment, it is generally recommended to follow the doctor’s instructions, administer anti-inflammatory medications to the child, and consider regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar medication injections. Depending on the child’s condition, painkillers can also be used to alleviate throat pain. If the child continues to have a persistent high fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be considered. If the medication treatment is ineffective and there are repeated occurrences, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is also important to provide the child with light meals and enhance nutritional supplementation to help with an early recovery.
