Question
How should a 8-year-old boy with a sore throat, cough, and low fever be treated for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
Treatment methods can include appropriate anti-inflammatory medications, such as local rinses, injections, and the like. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered. Use fever-reducing medications as soon as possible if the fever persists, and use physical methods to cool down if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius. In cases of recurrent inflammation, surgical treatment can be considered. Parents should ensure warmth and avoid colds to prevent the tonsils from becoming inflamed again.
