Question
My son is 2 years old, and he recently has been experiencing sore throat, coughing, and high fever. How can I effectively treat the crying symptoms of pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Currently, the main method for treating pediatric tonsillitis is the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose suitable medications based on the symptoms, and regional treatments such as tonsil irrigation or internal medication injections can be considered. If the child’s sore throat is severe, painkillers can be used to alleviate symptoms, and physical cooling methods can be employed for low-grade fever. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. If symptoms frequently occur, surgical treatment may be considered after treatment to prevent recurrent attacks. At the same time, pay attention to keeping the child’s diet light and nutritious, which will help in a quicker recovery.
