Question
My son is 7 years old and has recently been experiencing sore throat, cough, and a low-grade fever. What should I do?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis primarily involves selecting the appropriate antibiotic based on the results of bacterial culture, while also considering regional treatments to enhance effectiveness, such as washing out crypts and direct medication injections. If the main symptom is sore throat, painkillers can be considered. If there is also fever, oral antipyretics can be taken. If the symptoms cannot be relieved, it is imperative to seek medical assistance. If the situation occurs frequently, surgery can be considered after treatment to prevent recurrence, and attention should be paid to reasonable diet and rest to promote recovery.
