Question
A 13-year-old boy is experiencing symptoms of sore throat, severe cough, and persistent low fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated?
Answer
The treatment for pediatric tonsillitis can involve the use of anti-inflammatory drugs, along with regional treatment measures such as tonsil crypt irrigation and intratonsillar injections. For children with obvious sore throat, painkillers can be administered. If the child continues to have a fever, oral antipyretics can be given. Additionally, surgery is also a viable treatment option for children who have recurrent attacks. During the treatment period, attention should be paid to maintaining good dietary hygiene and ensuring sufficient rest time.
