Question
My son is 6 years old and has recently been experiencing sore throat, severe coughing, and persistent low-grade fever. How should we diagnose and treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
If a child is diagnosed with tonsillitis, consider using anti-inflammatory medications, regional laser therapy, pharmacological irrigation, and, if necessary, painkillers to relieve throat pain. If the fever persists, fever-reducing medication can be administered. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be considered. During the treatment period, it is important to keep the child warm and avoid exacerbating symptoms with a cold.
