Question
My child is a 3-year-old boy. He experiences pain in his throat and while drinking water, along with difficulty swallowing and high fever. How should we treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Common treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis include antibiotic medications, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation, intramuscular injections, and laser therapy. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered; if fever is present, antipyretics can be used, but if the fever does not subside, please seek medical attention promptly. If the medication is not effective, consider surgery. During the treatment process, pay attention to keeping warm and avoiding exacerbating symptoms.
