Question
My 7-year-old son initially complained of a sore throat and severe cough, and now he has a persistent high fever. What methods can effectively treat children’s tonsillitis so that he stops crying?
Answer
The main treatment for pediatric tonsillitis involves the use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatory medications. Parents can choose the appropriate treatment method based on the symptoms, and can also consider regional treatments such as tonsil crypt irrigation or injection of medications. When the child has severe throat pain, painkillers can be administered to relieve discomfort. If the fever persists, oral antipyretics can be taken. These are common treatment methods. However, if the child’s tonsillitis recurs frequently, it is advisable to consider surgical treatment as early as possible. During the treatment period, it is important to maintain a light diet, focusing on fluid foods.
