Question
How should a child with a sore throat and fever, a 3-year-old boy, be treated most effectively? He has pain when swallowing water, a slight cough, and persistent fever.
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotics based on bacterial culture, with auxiliary regional treatments such as irrigation or direct medication. Pain relief and oral fever-reducing medication should be administered reasonably. If there are recurrent infections, surgery may be considered. Pay attention to keeping warm and avoiding catching a cold.
