Question
A 7-year-old boy, in elementary school, initially complained of pain when swallowing water. He also had a severe cough and had been slightly feverish.
Answer
Antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs are currently the primary methods and medications for clinical treatment of pediatric tonsillitis. Parents can choose according to symptoms and can also use regional medications, such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intratonsillar injections, etc. In necessary cases, such as when the child’s sore throat is particularly severe, some painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a persistent fever, some antipyretic drugs can be taken orally. If the drug treatment is ineffective and the condition recurs, it is recommended to consider surgical treatment. During this period, pay attention to allowing the child to rest sufficiently and consume more vegetables and fruits.
