Question
My child is a 5-year-old boy, and he recently has been experiencing a sore throat, slight cough, and low-grade fever. I would like to know how to treat pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
For such conditions, you can consider giving your child oral antibiotics, along with regional drug sprays or laser therapy. If your child has throat pain, you may consider administering some painkillers. If there is a fever, you can use a fever-reducing medicine in moderation. However, if the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. For recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment may be considered. Additionally, parents should ensure warmth to prevent the common cold from triggering a recurrence of tonsillitis.
