Question
My son is 4 years old and has recently been experiencing symptoms of sore throat, difficulty swallowing, and slight fever. What are the effective treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For the treatment of pediatric tonsillitis, one can choose sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture; regional treatment may consider laser therapy or medication irrigation; if the sore throat is severe, appropriate painkillers can be administered; if accompanied by fever, choose appropriate cooling methods based on body temperature, it is recommended to use physical cooling methods below 38.5 degrees Celsius, and oral antipyretics for those above 38.5 degrees Celsius; if the medication is ineffective and symptoms recur, consider surgical treatment. During the treatment period, it is important to ensure that the child receives adequate nutrition, maintain a light diet, and get sufficient rest to avoid fatigue.
