Question
A 10-year-old boy has started to feel a sore throat, accompanied by a slight cough and a persistent low-grade fever. What are the effective treatment methods for pediatric tonsillitis?
Answer
The primary treatment for pediatric tonsillitis is the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose medications based on symptoms and can also opt for regional treatments, including tonsil washing and injection drugs. If the main symptom is throat pain, painkillers can be considered; if there is a fever, antipyretics can be taken. In severe cases, it is important to seek medical attention early. If a child frequently suffers from tonsillitis, surgical treatment may also be an option. It is advisable to maintain a light diet and consume mainly liquid foods during the treatment period.
