Question
My child is a 8-year-old boy. Initially, he said his throat was sore, and I noticed that swallowing seemed a bit difficult. He’s also been a bit feverish. How to diagnose and treat tonsillitis in children?
Answer
In treating pediatric tonsillitis, antibiotic medications, regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injections, and painkillers for sore throat symptoms can be used. If the child has a fever, a suitable amount of antipyretic medication can be taken; if the fever persists, medical attention is required. In cases of recurrent episodes, surgery may be considered, and after recovery, encourage appropriate exercise to boost immunity.
