Question
My child is a 1-year-old boy. Recently, he has started showing symptoms of throat discomfort, slight cough, and fever with a lack of energy. What are the treatment methods for tonsillitis in children?
Answer
The main treatment for pediatric tonsillitis currently involves antibiotics and anti-inflammatory drugs. Parents can choose based on the symptoms. In addition to systemic medication, regional treatments can also be considered, such as tonsil irrigation or intralesional injections. If the child has throat pain, painkillers can be administered as needed. Some children may have fever, and oral antipyretics can be given. If the condition does not improve, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. Surgery is applicable for children with frequent attacks, and parents are advised to take this disease seriously, bring their child for medical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to related prevention and health care work.
