Question
A 6-year-old boy is suffering from a slight sore throat, mild cough, and persistent high fever. How should pediatric tonsillitis be treated for the best results?
Answer
It is recommended that parents choose appropriate antibiotics or anti-inflammatory medications under a doctor’s guidance to alleviate inflammatory symptoms. Regional treatment methods such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection therapy can also be considered. For severe throat pain, painkillers can be provided, and if the child has a fever, a small amount of antipyretic medication can be used. However, if the fever persists, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. If inflammation recurs frequently, surgical treatment can be considered, and it is necessary to keep warm and prevent colds to avoid recurrent inflammation.
