Question
My child is a 7-year-old boy. He recently developed symptoms such as sore throat, cough, and low fever. How should I treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to follow medical advice and use anti-inflammatory drugs. Consider regional treatments such as tonsillar lavage and regional injections. If the main symptom is throat pain, parents may use pain relievers to alleviate symptoms; if there is a persistent fever, timely use of fever-reducing medicine is necessary. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be considered. If the tonsils frequently become inflamed, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment early on, while also paying attention to arranging light meals, increasing nutrition, and promoting recovery.
