Question
Baby boy, just over 4 months old, is experiencing throat pain and difficulty swallowing, accompanied by a low fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis-induced throat pain be treated?
Answer
Currently, in the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotics are typically used as the primary medication, with the choice of sensitive drugs based on bacterial culture and regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation, internal medication injection, and laser therapy. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered to relieve symptoms, and antipyretics should be used promptly for fever. If the fever persists, physical cooling methods can be employed. If the condition frequently recurs, surgery can be considered after control. After the condition improves, it is recommended that the child engage in moderate exercise to boost immunity and prevent recurrence.
