Question
My son is 6 years old and has recently been experiencing a sore throat, severe coughing, and fever. It might be tonsillitis. How should it be treated?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to administer anti-inflammatory medication based on the doctor’s advice, and regional treatments such as gargle or regional injections can also be considered. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. If there is a fever, choose a cooling method based on the body temperature; for temperatures below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used, and for temperatures above 38.5 degrees Celsius, oral antipyretics are recommended. If the child frequently experiences this condition, surgery can be considered after treatment, and attention should be paid to a reasonable diet and rest schedule to aid in recovery.
