Question

My child is a 9-year-old boy. Initially, he had a slight sore throat and has been running a slight fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated for the best effect?

Answer

If a child has tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotics can be used initially, along with regional treatments such as gargling and topical medications, which can enhance the effectiveness of treatment. If the child experiences severe throat pain, it is recommended to use painkillers in moderation. If the child has a fever, consider fever reduction measures. If the body temperature exceeds 40 degrees Celsius, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. These are common treatment methods. If tonsillitis frequently recurs, it is suggested to consider surgical treatment, during which it is necessary to maintain good dietary hygiene and sufficient rest.
