Question
A 12-year-old boy, in elementary school, has recently been experiencing a sore throat, severe coughing, and persistent fever. How should a child’s tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial cultures. Additionally, regional drug sprays or laser therapy can be administered. For children with prominent symptoms of throat pain, painkillers can be used. If the child continues to have a fever that does not subside, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. In addition to medication, if the child frequently recurs with inflammation, parents can consult with a doctor to consider surgical treatment. At the same time, attention should also be paid to giving the child a reasonable diet and sleep habits to help the disease recover sooner.
