Question
A 5-month-old baby boy is experiencing pain when swallowing and severe cough, along with a persistent high fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
To treat pediatric tonsillitis, parents can first give the child some symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. For regional treatment, laser therapy or medication irrigation is recommended. If the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, some painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms. Children with fever can take antipyretic drugs. In severe cases, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. For those with recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgery may be considered. At the same time, it is also important to pay attention to giving the child a reasonable diet and sleep habits to help the disease recover as soon as possible.
