Question
My child is a 5-year-old boy. He has a sore throat, difficulty drinking water, severe coughing, and is accompanied by a low fever. What is the best way to treat pediatric tonsillitis with low fever?
Answer
When treating pediatric tonsillitis, it is recommended to choose a sensitive antibiotic based on bacterial culture. Regional treatment suggests using laser therapy or medication irrigation. For throat pain, painkillers are suggested to alleviate symptoms. If there is persistent fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. It is recommended to allow the child to engage in moderate exercise after the illness subsides to boost immunity and prevent recurrence. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, consider surgical treatment.
