Question
A 4-year-old boy is experiencing symptoms such as sore throat, severe cough, fever, and lack of energy. He may have pediatric tonsillitis. What treatment should be considered?
Answer
Treatment for pediatric tonsillitis may include administering a moderate dose of antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medication, performing regional treatments such as tonsil lavage or intranasal medication injections, and providing pain relievers to alleviate throat pain. If fever persists, apply antipyretic medication promptly. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling measures can be adopted. If symptoms recur, surgery can be considered after controlling the inflammation. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to related preventive and health care work in their daily lives.
