Question
The boy is already 1 year old. Initially, he felt pain in his throat even when drinking water, and found it difficult to swallow. Now he has a persistent high fever. How effective is the treatment for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child has tonsillitis, the primary treatment is to use symptomatic antibiotics, and regional treatments can be considered, such as tonsil washing, intratonsillar injection of medication, or laser treatment. Painkillers can be given in appropriate doses to relieve throat pain, and fever can be treated with antipyretics. For temperatures below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If there are recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain good dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
