Question
A three-year-old boy is experiencing swallowing pain, slight cough, and fever symptoms, diagnosed with tonsillitis. How should it be treated to achieve the best results?
Answer
When treating pediatric tonsillitis, appropriate antibiotics can be chosen based on the results of bacterial culture. At the same time, regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medication can be adopted. If the child’s throat pain is severe, painkillers can be considered to relieve discomfort. For low fever, physical cooling is recommended; if the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, immediate medical attention should be sought. If tonsillitis recurs frequently, surgical treatment may be considered. After the condition improves, encourage the child to engage in moderate exercise to enhance immunity and prevent recurrence.
