Question
A 10-year-old boy has been experiencing sore throat and difficulty swallowing while at school. He now has a persistent high fever. What is the best treatment for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve selecting sensitive antibiotic medications based on bacterial culture for systemic use, or regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or intratonsillar drug injections. For children primarily suffering from sore throat symptoms, painkillers can be considered to alleviate symptoms, along with physical cooling(cooling). When the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is essential to seek medical attention promptly. If there are recurrent inflammatory episodes, surgical treatment can be considered. It is advised that parents pay attention to this disease, seek medical treatment for their children early, and pay attention to related preventive and health care work in daily life.
