Question
A 4-year-old boy has initially experienced a sore throat and slight cough, accompanied by a mild fever. He inquired about the treatment for pediatric tonsillitis.
Answer
The recommended treatment is for the child to take anti-inflammatory medications, and regional treatment may be necessary depending on the situation, such as cleaning the tonsillar crypts or administering injections. If throat pain is the main symptom, painkillers can be considered to relieve pain. If there is also fever, oral fever-reducing medication can be taken. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, medical assistance should be sought. If there are multiple acute severe attacks or complications have occurred, it is recommended to consider tonsillectomy after the acute inflammation subsides. After the condition improves, it is suggested that the child engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
