Question
A 8-year-old boy has a sore throat accompanied by coughing and low fever. What are the effective treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
When a child has tonsillitis, symptomatic treatment can be chosen, such as using anti-inflammatory drugs, and regional treatments can also be considered to enhance efficacy, such as tonsil pocket cleaning and tonsil injections. If the child’s main symptom is throat pain, appropriate painkillers can be administered to relieve symptoms. Some children may have a fever, in which case oral antipyretics can be given. If symptoms do not subside, it is imperative to seek medical attention. If a child frequently experiences tonsillitis, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment early on. It is recommended that parents pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment as soon as possible, and pay attention to doing related preventive health care work.
