Question
My son is 4 years old. Recently, he has been experiencing a sore throat while speaking, with a hoarse voice, and also has a fever. What is the treatment for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Currently, the main treatment for pediatric tonsillitis in clinical practice is antibiotics, which can be selected based on the results of bacterial culture to treat with sensitive medications, with good effects. Additionally, regional medication sprays or laser therapy can be applied. If the child mainly shows symptoms of sore throat, it is recommended to administer painkillers as needed for relief; if fever is present, appropriate antipyretics can be taken, but if the fever persists, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment early on. At the same time, pay attention to arranging the child’s reasonable diet and lifestyle habits, which can help in the recovery from the disease.
