Question
My child is an 8-year-old boy. He recently experienced sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and low-grade fever. How can I treat pediatric tonsillitis effectively?
Answer
Consider administering antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications. It is also suggested to consider laser therapy or pharmacological rinsing as regional treatment options. If the primary symptom is sore throat, painkillers can be considered to alleviate the symptoms. For fever, a suitable amount of antipyretic medication can be taken. If the symptoms persist or recur, medical attention should be sought promptly. Tonsillitis tends to recur easily, so after treatment, attention should be paid to lifestyle habits and consideration should be given to surgical treatment. During the treatment period, pay attention to dietary hygiene and ensure adequate rest.
